Fig. 2.
Changes in gene diversity simulated between different time periods assuming a constant population size. Mutation rate: 29.8% substitution per site per million years (A) and 10.0% substitution per site per million years (B). The colors refer to the proportion of simulations leading to the corresponding shift in gene diversity. Thirteen possible effective sizes were simulated (100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, 40,000, and 45,000 individuals). Red line indicates observed changes in gene diversity (large dataset).
