TABLE 6 in Unravelling a Taxonomic Puzzle: Reinstating the South African Scolelepis capensis as distinct from Scolelepis squamata (Annelida: Spionidae)

TABLE 6. Interspecific and intraspecific distance of nuclear 18S rRNA sequences for species of Scolelepis analysed using Kimura 2-parameter model. Below diagonal values represent interspecific variation; above diagonal values represent the standard deviation and intraspecific distances within the groups are in grey along the diagonal with the standard error. Species listed in order of target species relevance for comparison. n/c = not calculated.
