a
Estimate of the population recombination parameter R (13) corrected for haploid organisms.
b
Observed minimum number of recombination events (16).
c
Neutral coalescence simulations (104) given the number of segregating sites, with an intermediate level of recombination.
d
Confidence interval (lower limit, upper limit) for RM under the neutral coalescent process.
e
Probability that RM is less than or equal to the observed RM under the neutral coalescent process.
f
Average value of RM under the neutral coalescent process.
