Table 3a. Estimates of the DFE.

No. of chromo. Shape Lower CI Upper CI S Lower CI Upper CI
5 0.45 0.21 0.56 1120 289 34 400
11 0.44 0.34 0.57 1890 574 12 200

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; DFE, distribution of fitness effect.

The first column gives the number of chromosomes (chromo.) sampled for each species in the data set. The shape parameter of the gamma distribution of fitness effects is given in the ‘shape' column, and the estimated strength of selection is given in the S column. CIs for each variable are labelled as ‘Lower CI' and ‘Upper CI'.
