Morphological and Molecular Identification of Three Ceriodaphnia Species (Cladocera: Daphniidae) from Australia

Table 5

Minimum and maximum COI raw pairwise divergence within and between species with ML corrected divergence value inside the closed bracket () of the Ceriodaphnia complex. The figures are in percentage (%) and 0 represents the sequence divergence value being <0.005%. Asterisk represents species from Australia.
