Variance of ln RV when one population had passed through a bottleneck
| Θ = 3 | Θ = 6 | Θ = 30 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| No bottleneck | 1.56 | 1.58 | 1.97 |
| t = 0.1 | 1.60 | 1.20 | 1.26** |
| t = 0.05 | 2.48*** | 1.32 | 1.30 |
| t = 0.01 | 5.98*** | 2.02 | 1.48 |
A total of 10,000 microsatellite loci were simulated for two populations and r was set to 0.1. t, time (in 2Ne) elapsed since the bottleneck. Significant deviations from normal distribution: **P < 0.05, tail test; ***P < 0.05, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and tail test.
