  1. IBD = identity by descent; N eCi = method based on individual coancestry rate; N eCt = method based on coancestry rate between two successive generations; N eFi = method based on individual inbreeding rate; N eFt = method based on inbreeding rate between two successive generations; N es = N e method based on sex ratio; N ev = method based on variance of progeny size.
