Table 6. Estimates of long-term historical female effective population size (NEf) for ʻōpeʻapeʻa on four Hawaiian islands.
(A) Estimates of long-term historical female effective population size (NEf) for each island, calculated from ʻōpeʻapeʻa mitochondrial (COI) sequences based on high and low sequence mutation rates (μ) inferred from cytochrome b in the family Vespertilionidae. (B) Estimates of long-term global effective population size (Ne) of ʻōpeʻapeʻa on four Hawaiian Islands calculated from microsatellite loci using the expected heterozygosity for two different microsatellite mutation rates (µ) (10−3, and 10−5) in both the stepwise mutation (SMM) and infinite allele (IAM) models, and an average taken between both models for each rate.
| Mutation rate | Hawaiʻi | Maui | Oʻahu | Kauaʻi | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (A) Historical Female NEf | High u–Low u | 21,808–286,658 | 21,641–284,453 | 20,796–273,356 | 1,384–18,194 |
| (B) Long Term Ne | SMM High µ–Low µ | 622–62,162 | 618–61,828 | 376–37,604 | 371–37,122 |
| IAM High µ–Low µ | 361–36,099 | 360–35,962 | 251–25,052 | 248–24,811 | |
| Average High and Low µ (± SD) | 491 (±184)–49,131 (±18,429) | 489 (±183)–48,895 (± 18,290) | 313 (±89)–31,328 (±8,876) | 310 (±87)–30,966 (±8,705) |
