Comparison of SSR Decay in Hymenoptera and Diptera in Relation to Divergence Time or Generation Time

	Decay (Slope) Estimate	Decay (Slope) SE	Origin (Intercept) Estimate	Origin (Intercept) SE	F	P
Hymenoptera, divergence time	1.59	0.0183	70.64	2.4658	185.7523	8.33E − 11
Diptera, divergence time	3.32	0.0143	60.9	1.0954	285.2023	6.77E − 15
Hymenoptera, generations	3.24	0.0167	72.4	2.6891	62.5389	1.05E − 07
Diptera, generations	0.38	9.45E − 04	62.14	1.0857	211.7773	1.03E − 13

Note.—Comparison between the decay of SSRs in Hymenoptera and Diptera in relation to divergence time (split in Ma) and to the estimated number of million generations passed using an exponential decay function. Score and P value from a general regression statistics (F test) are given as well as standard errors (SE) for the slope estimate (decay) and the intercept.
