Dynamics of effective population size (N_e) changes in the studied chicken breeds (populations). Absolute N_e change across generations from approximately 50 (a) and 500 (b) generations ago; (c) N_e slope (N_eS), or relative N_e change across generations from approximately 50 generations ago: the continuous rate of change is shown as a horizontal straight line at point 0 on the y-axis, while deviations above and below zero represent, respectively, the relative increase and decrease in the changing N_eS as compared to the previous generation. Breed codes are given in Table 1.
