Table 2. Estimates of effective populations size (N _e) from three independent methods.

N_e (field)	N_e (OU)	N_e (molecular)	F_IS
7.75 (2–16)	23.39 (4.68–32.75)	23.60 (14.10–51)	0.123 (P=0.01)

Field, harmonic mean of number of breeding pairs with the range shown in parentheses. OU, Ne1/4h²s² p/s² step, where h² is the trait heritability (set to 0.5, with 0.1–0.7 shown in parentheses), s² p is the phenotypic variance of the sample and s² step is the step variance. molecular, linkage disequilibrium method with N_e estimator with 95% confidence intervals shown in parentheses.
