Expected and observed coalescent times for the different markers studied in lions according to their pattern of inheritance.

TMRCA - Time to the most recent common ancestral haplotype.Nef - long-term inbreeding effective size of the population; Neff - inbreeding effective size of females; and Nefm - inbreeding effective size of males.The approximations to the expected coalescence time are made under the assumption that Neff = Nefm = Nef/2.*The TF gene segment used to estimate the divergence Ppa/Ple was 450 bp long.na - not aplicable.
