  1. Numerical values in bold indicate statistical significance.
  2. Fs: Fu's neutrality test (Fu, 1997); SSD: sum of square deviations between the observed and the expected mismatch; rg: raggedness index of the observed distribution (Harpending, 1994), τ: time since expansion in mutational units.
