P < 0.05;

**

P < 0.01;

***

P < 0.005 in comparisons between species;

†

The time since Species 1 and 2 split in numbers of generations;

‡

The population migration rate into Species 1 from Species 2 per generation;

§

The population migration rate into Species 2 from Species 1 per generation;

Corresponds to the first bin of the parameter space, and therefore represents zero.
