Table 2 Best parameter estimates of demographic models analysed with dadi, Akaike information criterion (AIC), and results of the likelihood ratio tests (LRT) for nested models (IM versus IM_2M and IM2 versus IM2_2M). The parameters are as in Fig. 1. Confidence levels for parameters of the best-fitting model for each gene category are shown (± 1.96X, where X = standard deviation in 100 bootstrap estimates).
