The relationship between DNA sequence divergence and recombination rates?

The recombination rate between two sequences falls as their degree of divergence increases. I hope to know the general quantitative relationship between them in mammalian, especially the threshold: under which divergence can two sequences fail to recombine?

I searched some literature but most of them focus on bacteria, yeasts or plants. Is there any mammalian related materials?
