a

Number of loci.

b

Number of populations: IMa2 was run with either a tree or an island structure of K populations, and STRUCTURAMA was run with a fixed number of K populations.

c

Number of individuals.

d

IM tree, IMa2 with a population tree; IM island, IMa2 with an island; ST, STRUCTURAMA.

e

Mutation model for IMa2. IS, infinite sites model; NA, not applicable.

f

Burn-in, total, and samples are in generations. After steps of burn-in, we take samples from total generations; one generation for IMa2 tries to update the population label of a single individual whereas one generation for STRUCTURAMA tries to update the labels of multiple individuals.

g

The number of Metropolis-coupled chains (Geyer 1991).

h

The heating level of the most heated chain.

i

Maximum of uniform prior of population size.

j

Maximum of uniform prior of splitting time.

k

Maximum of uniform prior of migration rates.
