Table 5.
Level of heterozygosity excess calculated under different mutation models in the three Sardinian mouflon sub-populations.
| Sub-population | Mutation model | He | Hee | Wilcoxon sign rank test (P) |
Mode-shift |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mount Lerno | IAM | 9 | 5.45 | 0.00342* | SM |
| SMM | 9 | 6.09 | 0.03369* | ||
| TPM | 9 | 6.18 | 0.03369* | ||
| Mount Tonneri | IAM | 9 | 6.43 | 0.05712 | NLS |
| SMM | 7 | 7.12 | 0.47302 | ||
| TPM | 8 | 7.06 | 0.41968 | ||
| Montes Forest | IAM | 8 | 7.09 | 0.08386 | NLS |
| SMM | 6 | 7.49 | 0.79286 | ||
| TPM | 6 | 7.51 | 0.75134 |
He observed number of loci with heterozygosity excess, Hee expected number of loci with heterozygosity excess, IAM infinite allele model, SMM stepwise mutation model, TPM two-phase model; *Significant difference between the observed and expected values for heterozygosity excess p < 0.05; SM shifted mode, NLS normal L-shaped.
