Median values of genome‐wide heterozygosity (GW Het in this table), F RoH, average and maximum length of RoH for each of the four groups. Comparisons between NWRpre and NWRpost, and between SWRpre and SWRpost were performed with one‐sided Wilcoxon Sum Rank tests. Delta estimators (denoted with the Greek letter Δ) were calculated as median post‐bottleneck value minus median pre‐bottleneck value, divided by the median pre‐bottleneck value.
