*Demographic parameters were inferred in IMa [38]. These parameters were scaled assuming an mtDNA mutation rate of 1.64 x 10 – 7 [89], an intermediate microsatellite mutation rate of 7.75 x 10 - 5 [87], and 20-year generation time [90]. Demographic estimates assuming different microsatellite mutation rates are shown in Additional file 11.
