Fig. 3: Demographic inference.
a Ancestral dynamic change of effective population size inferred by PSMC program for eight high-depth genomes. Colors of the lines indicated different species. Plots were scaled using a mutation rate of 2.5 × 10-8 per-site per generation and generation time (g) of 3. Light green shading indicates interglacials (IG) in the Pleistocene and Holocene, and light blue indicated as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and gray shading indicates the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) and the Plio-Pleistocene transition (PPT). b LD decay analysis for seven wild species (marked as rectangles) and six domestic breeds (marked as squares). c Dynamic change of effective population size inferred by the SMC++ program for Asiatic and European mouflon and six domestic breeds (left panel) and seven wild species (right panel), the blue shading indicates the period of domestication and the gray vertical dashed line is the potential split time point of European and Asiatic mouflon. d Dynamic change of effective population size over time for all Ovis species. Source data for b were presented in Supplementary Data 7.
