Extended Data Fig. 5: Parameter estimates obtained for the RAD sequencing (RAD) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) datasets.

Three alternative demographic models were evaluated for each dataset, the first including a bottleneck lasting for six generations (bot06), the second including a bottleneck lasting for ten generations (bot10) and a ‘null’ model that did not include a bottleneck. Shown are point estimates from the model with the best likelihood among 100 independent runs for each model (white points) and the distributions of 100 bootstrap replicates (blue shading: density distribution, thin lines 95% CIs, thick lines 66% CIs). a, NeLGM: effective population size during the last glacial maximum (LGM). b, NePREBOT: effective population size before sealing. c, NeBOT: effective population size during the bottleneck. d, NePOSTBOT: effective population size in the current day. e, Tse: time of the end of the LGM in generations ago.
