Deep Phylogenetic Divergence and Lack of Taxonomic Concordance in Species of Astronotus (Cichlidae)

Table 2

Mean intra- and interspecific distances and their standard errors estimated between COI haplotypes using the Jukes Cantor model of molecular evolution [24]. Hypothetical species were inferred using the ABGD [26] algorithm.
