a Rates are in units of % substitutions per site per 106 years. KS, synonymous substitutions per synonymous site; KA, nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site. All estimates for fragments of coxI except angiosperms (mean of several mitochondrial genes, including coxI) and Sphyrna (cytochrome b). |
