Table 5. Posterior parameter distribution (median and 95% confidence interval) for the most likely demographic scenario in each region (scenario 3 with an LGM bottleneck in Benin, West Cameroon and São Tomé and scenario 4 with a bottleneck during the penultimate glacial in South Cameroon and Gabon).
