From: Analysis of whole-genome re-sequencing data of ducks reveals a diverse demographic history and extensive gene flow between Southeast/South Asian and Chinese populations

Demographic history of the studied duck populations. a Reconstruction of past variations in effective population sizes (Ne) inferred by SMC++. Dashed vertical lines correspond to the estimated splitting times between Chinese domestic ducks and Chinese wild ducks. We assume a mutation rate of 1.91e−9/bp per generation and a generation time of 1 year. b Linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay for six populations measured by r2. c Split time between Chinese wild ducks and Southeast/South Asian ducks. d The best model for our data. The ancestral population is in light grey, Chinese wild ducks in dark gray, Chinese domestic ducks in blue and SEA/SA ducks in yellow. T0 and T1 indicate the time of divergence between populations. The figures on the arrows indicate the gene flow between populations. The posterior probability value (p) was calculated by the ABCtoolbox
