The Effect of Fertility Inheritance on the Balance Measure Mean <i>I</i>′

<p>For each value of the fertility inheritance parameter <i>α,</i> 100 coalescent trees with 100 individuals were simulated. The extremities of the boxes correspond to the first and the third quartiles. The horizontal line in each box represents the median, and the whiskers extend to the most extreme data points. The horizontal line indicates 0.5, the expected value of mean <i>I</i>′ under the neutral coalescent.</p

The Effect of Population Expansion and Fertility Inheritance on the Balance Measure Mean <i>I</i>′

<p>For each value of the fertility inheritance parameter <i>α</i> and each scenario of population expansion, 100 coalescent trees with 100 individuals were simulated. Each point corresponds to the mean value of the mean <i>I</i>′ for the 100 replicates. The parameter <i>r</i> denotes the geometric rate of the population expansion and <i>S</i> denotes the time, measured in generations, since the beginning of the expansion.</p

The Effect of the Starting Time <i>T</i> of the Fertility Inheritance Process on the <i>α</i> Value above Which It Is Possible to Detect Imbalanced Trees

<p>Tree imbalance was detected when more than 90% of the simulated trees were more unbalanced than expected under the neutral model (type I error = 10%). The starting time is measured backward in time. The parameter <i>τ</i> denotes the length of time, measured in generations, over which fertility inheritance occurred. The solid lines have been obtained using a linear regression between log <i>α</i> and log <i>T.</i></p

Genotype data for 10 autosomal microsatellite loci are provided as well as sequences for the mtDNA DLOOP-Control region from the 89 harbor porpoises from the Black Sea and Aegean Sea. Data are formatted following the modified version of the genepop format (Rousset 2008, Mol Ecol Res 8: 103) described in Diy-ABC 1.X (Cornuet et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2010, 11:401
