Table 1.

Divergence time and mutation rate hyper-parameter priors used for the ABC analyses.

Divergence time parameters		Prior distribution
t1	First splitting time	Uniform (0, 2 My)
t2	Second splitting time	t1 values + Uniform (0, 1.5 My)
t3	Third splitting time	t2 values + Uniform (0, 1.5 My)
t4	Fourth splitting time	t3 values + Uniform (0, 2 My)
t5	Fifth splitting time	t4 values + Uniform (0, 5 My)
Marker Hyper-parameters		Mutation rate for mtDNA standard	slower
ϑSTRm	mean of mutation rate for STR locus	Normal (-3.5, 0.25)	Normal (-3.5, 0.25)
ϑSTRsd	st. dev. of mutation rate for STR locus	Abs [Normal (0, 0.5)]	Abs [Normal (0, 0.5)]
ϑSNPm	mean of mutation rate for mtDNA locus	Normal (-4.630784, 0.25)	Normal (-5.267606, 0.25)
ϑSNPsd	st. dev. of mutation rate for mtDNA locus	Abs [Normal (0, 0.5)]	Abs [Normal (0, 0.5)]
