Fig. 2
Estimated bottleneck effective population sizes. Posterior distributions of Nebot are shown for 11 species for which the bottleneck model was supported in the ABC analysis, ranked according to the modes of their density distributions which reflect the estimated most likely Nebot. Prior distributions are not shown as Nebot was drawn from a uniform distribution with U[1, 500]. For each species, parameter values for 5000 accepted simulations are presented as a sinaplot, which arranges the data points to reflect the estimated posterior distribution. Superimposed are boxplots (centre line = median, bounds of box = 25th and 75th percentiles, upper and lower whiskers = largest and lowest value but no further than 1.5 * inter-quartile range from the hinge) with light grey points representing maximum densities.
