A comparison of the nucleotide divergences of the copepod 18S rRNA genes of different regions.

<p>184 18S rRNA genes representing 184 copepod species (excluding species in the genus <i>Acartia</i>) were used to calculate pairwise genetic distances using <i>p</i>-distance. Values are shown as means ± SD. Variable names are consist with <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0131498#pone.0131498.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.
