Therefore, there are still too few cases with adequate sampling of intraspecific diversity for sister species pairs to know how common paraphyly is, although a recent meta-analysis found that 17% of bird species deviated from mtDNA monophyly (Funk and Omland 2003).
However, the existence of a statistically supported alternative topology, with a sister-group relationship between Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota allows for the possibility that the apparent paraphyly of Euryarchaea is an artifact caused by rapid evolution in some Euryarchaeal lineages, such as Halobacterium and Thermoplasma.
Moreover, although only a few of these 39 pairs (see Table 1 in Johnson and Cicero [2004]) had sufficient sampling to assess intraspecific variation in mtDNA sequences, these typically showed paraphyly in mtDNA haplotypes.
