  1. Abbreviations: CI, credibility interval; SE, standard error.
  2. aMedian for silent sites.
  3. b95% credibility intervals for θ.
  4. cLeast-squares estimate of ρ.
  5. dTajima's D test based on all sites.
  6. eFay and Wu H test.
  7. fNorth: Finland North, Finland South and Sweden.
  8. gCentral: Poland, France and Austria; ‘—’ not estimated because of the low sample size (5 for each locus) and low number of informative sites from each population.
  9. *P<0.05, statistical significance determined by coalescent simulations with and without recombination (see Materials and methods).
