TABLE 5.

Simulated specific growth rate of three scenarios

Simulation μ50d
First lineage Second lineage
1a 1.20 0.86
2b 1.95 1.15
3c 2.57 1.91
Observed 4.93 3.35
a

Populations were defined as minor populations when frequency in a population was less than 10%. Population frequency positively correlated with specific growth rate for minor subpopulations.

b

A major population was found at 80% frequency. Positive correlation between frequency and specific growth rate was assumed, similar to simulation 1.

c

Populations of less than 5% decreased the specific growth rate of a minor population due to competition for survival, while populations of more than 5% increased the rate because of relatively higher frequency.

d

The ratio of specific growth rate for populations passed five times under a stronger bottleneck than that of the initial population.
