Average (and standard deviation, SD) numbers of mutations separating descendent haplotypes from ancestral nodes (rho) and corresponding estimates of time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) assuming an average substitution rate of 10.8% per million generations in the 785 bp concatenated cytochrome <i>b</i> and D loop fragment.
