Variance of ln RV with one recently expanded population
| Θ = 3 | Θ = 6 | Θ = 30 | |
| No expansion | 1.56 | 1.58 | 1.97 |
| t = 0.1, f = 10 | 0.97 | 0.95 | 1.36* |
| t = 0.1, f = 100 | 1.16 | 1.06 | 1.24* |
| t = 0.01, f = 10 | 1.33 | 1.29 | 1.95 |
| t = 0.01, f = 100 | 0.91 | 0.91 | 1.34 |
A total of 10,000 microsatellite loci were simulated for two populations. t, time (in 2Ne) since the expansion; f, factor by which the population expanded. Significant deviations from normal distribution: *P < 0.05, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
