  1. Time of divergence of two populations -- 2,000 generations; effective population size (Ne) -- 1,000 individuals; sample size -- 100 individuals per population. Standard deviations included in parentheses.
  2. a Rate of migration from population 2 into population 1. CIRM: complete isolation (1,900 generations) followed by recent migration (Nem = 2.0).
  3. b Average genetic distance for a set of pairs of individuals.
  4. c Standard deviation of individual CAPs, averaged across individuals.
  5. d Heterozygosity = 1 - ∑pi where pi is the population frequency of allele i, averaged across all alleles at all loci.
  6. e Raggedness calculated according to Harpending [37].
  7. f Average weight of distribution (across individuals) in each of three sets of bins corresponding to peak at lower genetic distance (1), peak at higher genetic distance (3) and midpoint between these two peaks (2). See text for further details.
