Figure 1

Inferred population size changes for n-island models with constant size. This figure shows λs(t) for different values of M, the number of migrants, and n, the number of islands. In (a) we assumed an island model with n=50, and varied M, the number of migrants between 0.1 and 50. In (b) we varied n between 50 and 500 and used two large values for M, namely 100 and 500. For both panels, the y axis is scaled by N and the horizontal dashed lines correspond to nN, the total population size. In all cases, λs(t) identifies a population decrease.
