(a) Demographic reconstructions inferred with PSMC on the basis of autosomal data from one individual from Kirov, Yakutia, Primorsky Krai and Carpathians. (b) Pseudodiploid trajectories on PSMC. Sequences created by combining haplotypes from two different populations. Sudden population increases inferred for pseudodiploids are interpreted as the time of complete isolation of the two populations. (c) Demographic reconstruction inferred by stairway plot for all populations. (d) Recent demographic reconstruction inferred by snep for all populations. (e) Timeline of Eurasian lynx main demographic events, including partial (dashed lines) and complete isolation (branching) and admixture (arrow) between populations, along with haplogroup divergences, major climatic fluctuations and human milestones
