^aThe mean number of deleterious sites per ancestral lineage sequence estimated from the simulations.

^bEffective population size estimates obtained by equating the mean of the binomial distribution in Equation 1 to the mean number of deleterious sites per ancestral lineage sequence inferred from the simulations.

^cEstimated rates of ancestral lineage change per sequence per generation.

^dEffective population size estimates obtained by using Equation 3 and the values of Q estimated from the simulations.
