Abstract excerpt
Rates of sequence evolution were estimated for the cytochrome b (cyt b) and NADH dehydrogenase sub-unit 2 (ND2) genes using a phylogeny of the dabbling ducks (Tribe: Anatini) and outgroups. This speciose group was densely sampled, reducing the impact of undetected homoplasy on rate comparisons. Phylogenies based on sequences of the two gene regions and various weighting schemes differed, but most of the...
