FIGURE 5.
Demographic history of the B. schroederi reconstructed from the reference and population resequencing genomes. (a) The red and purple line represent the estimated effective population size of B. schroederi and host, respectively. The 100 grey curves of B. schroederi and host represent the PSMC estimates for 100 sequences randomly resampled from the original sequence. Generation time (g) of e and giant panda were 0.17 and 12 years, respectively. The neutral mutation rate per generation (µ) of B. schroederi and giant panda were 0.9 × 10−8 and 1.3 × 10−8, respectively. The black line shows the MAR of Chinese loess. (b) Longitudinal change of the effective population size of the B. schroederi populations. The effective population sizes (N e) were estimated using the MSMC2 method. QLI, Qinling population; SC, Sichuan population
