Figure 2.

Characteristics of the simulated data under different settings of the duplication/loss rates and tree topologies. The duplication/loss rates are denoted by the rate multiplier (0Inline graphic, 1Inline graphic, 2Inline graphic, 5Inline graphic and 10Inline graphic), where 1Inline graphic is the rate found in nature for the clade represented by each species tree topology (see Methods section). a,b) Distribution of the total number of gene copies in individual gene families in the 16-taxon and 12-taxon data sets, respectively. Note that the two tree topologies also have different simulated effective population sizes in these figures (see Supplementary Fig. S1a,b available on Dryad for more conditions). c,d) Scatter plots of XL (Species tree, Locus tree), the number of extra lineages when reconciling the true locus trees with the true species tree, for the 16-taxon and 12-taxon data sets, respectively. These plots therefore represent the effects of GDL alone. e,f) Scatter plots of XL (Locus tree, Gene tree), the number of extra lineages when reconciling the true gene trees with the true locus tree, for the 16-taxon and 12-taxon data sets, respectively. These plots therefore represent the effects of ILS alone, though note that higher rates of GDL allow there to be more gene tree branches on which ILS can act.
