“…The genetic distance between
Otostigmus species was calculated using the Kimura 2-parameter model in MEGA X (
Kumar et al 2018 ). The
COI , 16S, and 28S DNA sequences obtained from this study, as well as previous phylogenetic studies acquired from GenBank (
Siriwut et al 2018 ;
Vu et al 2020 ;
Joshi and Karanth 2012 ;
Vahtera et al 2012 ,
2013 ), were used as part of the phylogenetic analysis (Table 1 ). Three partitioned genes,
COI , 16S, and 28S, were aligned in BIOEDIT 7.1.3.0 (11/4/2011) ( Hall 1999 ), using the CLUSTAL W tool (
Thompson et al 1994 ).…”
