Figure 4

Inferred population size changes under population structure and two sampling schemes. This figure shows the predicted population size changes that will be inferred for an n-island model under the assumption that populations are not structured. For both panels the x axis represents time in generations, whereas the y axis represents real or inferred population size in units of 104 diploid genomes. We simulated an n-island model with n=10 and M=1 and computed the theoretical IICR using Equation (4), and the estimated IICR using the simulated T2 values and Equation (21). The color codes are identical to Figure 3. The green solid lines represent the history inferred by the PSMC. (a) The results when the two haploid genomes are sampled in the same deme are shown. In (b) they come from different demes. The constant size of the metapopulation at y=0.5 corresponds to 5000 diploid genomes or 10 islands of size 500 diploids. A full color version of this figure is available at the Heredity journal online.
