Table 1 Estimates of evolutionary divergence of cox1 over sequence pairs between groups. The analysis involved 84 nucleotide sequences. Codon positions included were 1st + 2nd + 3rd + Noncoding. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There were a total of 637 positions in the final dataset. Data are presented as the mean followed by standard error estimates in parentheses
