Posterior distributions for the demographic parameters of the exponential growth model estimated by ABC analysis based on ten nuclear loci
| Parameter | Mode | 2.5% | 97.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| θ | 0.0299 | 0.0045 | 0.0534 |
| ρ | 0.0346 | 0.0008 | 0.0997 |
| N1 | 0.0318 | 0.0118 | 0.2086 |
| T0 | 0.8593 (2458) | 0.0408 (117) | 22.730 (65,008) |
Modes 2.5% and 97.5% are medians of the lower and upper bounds of the estimated 95% posterior density credibility interval, respectively; θ, per site nucleotide polymorphism; ρ, per site recombination rate; N1, ancestral population size (in units of current population size N0); T0, the time of the initial size change; T0, is in units of 4N0 generations and scaled by 10−3; values in parentheses are converted T0 in years assuming N0 of 1.43 × 104 for P. krempfii and generation time of 50 years.
