  1. Polymorphic sites (synonymous and nonsynonymous mutations) within cob and cox1 genes of F- and M-type sequences and test of positive selection performed by the one-tailed Fisher's Exact test. Pairwise comparisons within each group sequences (i.e. FvsF and MvsM) have been performed. All comparisons gave non-significant values, thus indicating purifying selection. Only obtained average P-values have been reported here for brevity.
  2. α = Average P-value obtained from one-tailed Fisher's exact test.
