Method Researchers turned to approximate Maximum Likelihood to explore a two-phase population growth model (Figure 1). They applied this method to their empirical dataset, first, to the two loci individually, and subsequently, to the two loci together (Table 2)
Comments The ancestral population size is NA, the modern population size N0, the time of onset of growth t, a is the exponential growth rate.
