Results of the demographic analysis.

The parameters of the neutral demographic model that was used for the sweep analysis are given for the African, European and Asian population of D. melanogaster. The exit out of Africa, the times of colonization (times of divergence) and the respective population sizes were estimated by means of ABC using data from the X chromosome and chromosome 3.
NOTE.–The time estimations (i.e., modes and credibility intervals) are provided in years assuming ten generations per year. Population sizes are given in effective numbers of individuals.
