The ‘‘Phoca standard’’: an external molecular reference for calibrating recent evolutionary divergences

Abstract. Comparison of the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the high-Arctic ringed seal (Phoca hispida) and the sub-Arctic harbour (P. vitulina) and grey (Halichoerus grypus) seals shows that they are ge-netically equidistant from one another.
