Table 4

Estimates of historical demography including pre- and post-expansion theta (𝜃₀ and 𝜃₁), female effective population size (𝑁_ef), mismatch analyses (sum of squared deviations; SSD), tau (𝜏), time since last bottleneck (age in years), and test for population expansion (𝐹_𝑠), with unresolved values shown as NR. Standard deviations for population parameter estimates are given in parentheses. Significance represented by: ^∗𝑃≤.05, ^‡𝑃≤.001.
