Estimates for intervals for population size (N), splitting time (t in years), migration rate (m per gene copy per generation), and population migration rates (2Nm) scaled by the geometric mean of mutation rates. IM (Hey and Nielsen 2004) results were obtained from the first IM analysis of P. t. troglodytes and P. t. verus (Won and Hey 2005), which used 48 hand curated loci and the original IM program (Hey and Nielsen 2004).

b

Maximum likelihood estimates. To convert primary parameter estimates, which are scaled by the geometric means of mutation rates, we used the geometric mean of locus-wide mutation rates per year, assuming a per year rate of 1.2e-8 per base (Scally and Durbin 2012) and 24.5 years per generation (Langergraber et al. 2012). For the 48 loci in the original IM study, the value was 2.65654E–07 per year, whereas the corresponding rate was 9.97486e–07 for the longer loci sampled using PPP.
