Table 4 Estimates (and 95% confidence intervals generated by bootstrapping) obtained using ESTIM for F and Ne (effective population size) in both species. Ne estimates are given for an upper and lower range of mutation rates (μ)

From: Beyond the point of no return? A comparison of genetic diversity in captive and wild populations of two nearly extinct species of Goodeid fish reveals that one is inbred in the wild
