MBT: moment based temporal method; TM3: likelihood based temporal method. LDNe: the linkage disequilibrium method with bias correction; ONeSAMP is a program that uses summary statistics and approximate Bayesian computation. Lower and upper 95% confidence intervals are in brackets. *: TM3 did not produce upper confidence intervals below the imposed boundary of 999 individuals. **: no estimate possible due to too few of offspring.
