Evolutionary scenarios to evaluate the interest of mixing microsatellite with mtDNA and/or nuclear DNA sequence data. The three presented scenarios involve different number of divergence and admixture events that occurred at recent to ancient times. Scenario 1 includes six populations, the four that have been sampled (30 diploïd individuals per population) and two unsampled parental populations in the admixture events. The two admixed populations are those represented by samples 2 and 3. Scenario 2 and 3 include five and four populations, respectively. Scenario 2 includes a single admixed population represented by sample 2. Scenario 3 does not include any admixed population. For all scenarios, samples 3 and 4 have been collected 2 and 4 generations earlier than the first two samples, hence their slightly upward locations on the graphs. Time is not at scale. See text of Methods (section "Mixing microsatellite, mtDNA, and/or nuclear DNA sequence data") for details regarding prior distributions of microsatellite and sequence markers.
