Table 1. Possible events in facultative sexual coalescent simulation.

kj samples split by sex in deme j: p(kj|xj,σj)=(xjkj)σjkj(1σj)xjkj
Event Description Configuration change in a deme Probability
1 New single samples remain single (xj,yj)(xjkj,yj+2kj) 1–all other probabilities
2 One of the paired samples is re-created (xj,yj)[xjkj+1,yj+2(kj1)] kjyjNd+(2kj2)12Nd
3 A new single sample coalesces with an existing single sample (xj,yj)(xjkj+1,yj+2kj1) kjyjNd+(2kj2)12Nd
4 A new single sample coalesces with an existing paired sample (xj,yj)(xjkj,yj+2kj1) 2kj(xjkj)Nd
5 Two existing single samples form a new paired sample (xj,yj)[xjkj+1,yj+2(kj1)] (yj2)12Nd
6 Two existing single samples coalesce (xj,yj)[xjkj,yj+2kj1] (yj2)12Nd
7 Two remaining paired samples doubly coalesce asexually (xj,yj)(xjkj1,yj+2kj) (xjkj2)1Nd
8 One remaining paired sample coalesces with a single sample (xj,yj)(xjkj,yj+2kj1) (xjkj)yjNd
9 Paired sample coalesces via gene conversion (xj,yj)(xjkj1,yj+2kj+1) γ(xjkj)
10 A sample migrates to another deme (xj,yj)(xjkj,yj+2kj) m(xj+yj+kj)
(before migration)

The listed probabilities for events 1–4 are conditional on sex having occurred and are otherwise zero.
