Figure 3

Example of computer simulation results in which all alleles were equitable in frequency. See text for explanations of ‘true’, ‘estimated without null’, and ‘estimated with null’ exclusion probabilities (EP). Note that null alleles are disregarded in the ‘true’ and ‘estimated without null’ exclusion probabilities, so the ‘null allele frequency’ label on the Y-axis refers strictly to the ‘estimated with null’ EP. In simulations where 50 or 100 individuals were sampled, the lines corresponding to ‘true’ and ‘estimated without null’ exclusion probabilities were exactly coincident (data not shown).
