Precision and accuracy for the four parameters of the allopatric model (using the mode as a point estimate). MIMAR and IM were applied to 30 simulated multilocus data sets under the allopatric model (for details, see Methods).

aThe biases in θ2 estimates from IM and MIMAR are significantly different at the 5% level, after Bonferroni correction (P = 0.006 using a Wilcoxon signed rank test).
