Figure 4
Mismatch distribution and Bayesian skyline plot (BSP) analysis of the two lineages of the hog deer using mtDNA control region gene sequence. For the mismatch distributions, the solid line shows the expected frequency, while the dashes show the observed frequency distribution. For the skyline plots, the x axis is the timing of events, assuming a substitution rate of 0.118 × 10−6 substitutions/site/year54,55,56. The y axis is the expressed population size, estimated as Ne × τ (Ne = effective population size; τ = generation time), and the blue lines around the solid median estimates show the 95% highest posterior density estimate of the historic effective population size.
