^aCoalescence time was calculated by considering one transition between nucleotides 16090–16365 (HVS-I) equal to 20,180 years (Forster et al. 1996) and one base substitution between nucleotides 577–16023 (coding region) equal to 5,138 years (Mishmar et al. 2003).

^bSD of the ρ estimate (σ) was calculated as reported elsewhere (Saillard et al. 2000).
