Figure 5: Historical effective population sizes of T. syrichta.

Figure 5

Ne was derived by the pairwise sequential Markovian coalescent model (PSMC)44. The x axis gives a log scale of the time in years (adapted to the major glacial epochs), applying a genome mutation rate of μ=1.1e−8 per site and generation time of 7 years66. The bold red line shows the effective population size through time. The thin pink and grey lines represent 100 rounds of bootstrapped sequences. The interglacial epochs are indicated with black bars on the x axis. *A fossil tarsier from the middle Miocene of Thailand47; **a fossil tarsier from the Eocene of China46. The drawing of tarsier has been reproduced from Hartig et al.14 with permission.
