Fig. 6

Schematic representation of two contrasting demographic scenarios. All priors were drawn independently from each other, so the current Ne can be smaller or larger than Nehist for a given species. This allowed both models to capture pre-bottleneck to post-bottleneck variation in population size. While Ne and Nehist were drawn from lognormal priors, all other parameters were specified using uniform priors. All prior distributions are also shown as small figures next to the respective parameter. The exact priors and the mutation model are given in the Methods
