Used constant values for simulations: μ = 2 × 10-4 and δg = 3.1. Significant MC-values in Table b) are bolded. Sample from 1920–1959 was not tested owing to small sample size.

N = number of samples, M = average M-ratio over all loci, Θ = 4Neμ, pg = proportion of not single-step mutations and δg = mean step size.
