Table 3.

Average estimates of demographic N _e, N _eV and N _e(SA) across replicates and breeding designs: MM, HICS, and ECCS. k is the mean family size, and V _k is the variance in family size based on results from COLONY. P-values for ANOVA testing whether effective size differs between breeding designs are also given
