Johnson and Cicero (2004) showed the importance of comparing sister species when examining genetic divergence values in North American birds, with results that contrast strongly with those of Hebert et al.
Finally, we applied these mode estimators to published data sets of divergence time estimates of fungi and plants [ 8 ] . The objective was to observe how the different estimators performed with real data and to compare their performance with simulation results to assist in formulating recommendations for mode estimation.
The melanogaster sequences were found to be only 1.3% (9 substitutions/685 nucleotide sites) diverged from that of D. mauritiana . This value is significantly less than half of the expected 4.3 % (± 2.7) divergence based on the Drosophila neutral substitution rate of 0.016 (± 0.005) substitutions/site/million year [ 18 ] over the estimated 2.7 million years separating the two species [ 19 ] .
