[i] (θ_W/bp) Watterson's θ per base pair, (ρ/kbp) population recombination parameter, (ρ) per kilobase, (μ/bp/gen) mutation rate per base pair per generation taken from literature, (N_E) effective population size, and (r [cM/Mb]) recombination rate in centimorgans per megabase. Estimates correspond to Acyrthosiphon pisum (2.7 × 10⁻¹⁰), Drosophila melanogaster (4.5 × 10⁻⁹), and Drosophila pseudoobscura (8.1 × 10⁻⁹) (Lynch et al. 2023).
