Note.— The divergence in synonymous sites (KS) and the divergence in nonsynonymous sites (KA) have been calculated by the modified Nei-Gojobori method with Jukes-Cantor correction. Within species comparisons have been calculated using D-loop sequences from the following studies: [39], [40], [45], [46], [55]–[57]; Barna and Showman unpublished.
