Table 3 Interspecific sequence p-distances of the 18S, 5.8S, and D1/D2-28S rRNA genes (below diagonal) as well as of the ITS1, ITS2, and ITS region + D1/D2-28S RNA gene sequences (above diagonal) among five astome taxa

From: Delimitation of five astome ciliate species isolated from the digestive tube of three ecologically different groups of lumbricid earthworms, using the internal transcribed spacer region and the hypervariable D1/D2 region of the 28S rRNA gene
