Simulation results of the HR effect for a case with complete linkage (ρ=0), scaled selection coefficients γ=1 and variable number of sites under selection (L) (see text and Comeron and Kreitman (2002) for simulation details). (a) Frequency of sites with the preferred variant (P) and estimates of the relative Ne that would cause the observed reduction in P (Ne(P)). (b) Polymorphism levels (θ) . (c) Modified Tajima's D statistic (Dsn; see Figure 1 for details).
