Table 1.

Effective population sizes estimated for approximately 10 000 years ago, the LGM and the LIG. Effective population sizes are approximate values extracted from the PSMC graphs (figure 1; electronic supplementary material, figures S2 and S3). LGM, Last Glacial Maximum; LIG, Last Interglacial.
