Population dynamic of the extinct European aurochs: genetic evidence of a north-south differentiation pattern and no evidence of post-glacial expansion

Table 1 Demographic parameters estimated by BEAST under the a priori model of exponential growth.

	Ne	TMRCA_P	TMRCA_T	TMRCA_Total	g
Au-It	3.3 (0.1 ÷ 12.0)	6.0 (4.3 ÷ 11.6)	24.0 (11.0 ÷ 59.0)	44.0 (11.0 ÷ 130.0)	0.1 (-0.7 ÷ 0.9)
Au-NCE	1.7 (0.28 ÷ 4.0)	18.0 (11.0 ÷ 32.0)	-	57.0 (21.0 ÷ 114.0)	-2.17 (-9.5 ÷ 3.3)

Median values and 95% high posterior density (in parenthesis) are shown. Ne, the effective population size, is given expressed in thousands of individuals. TMRCA_P, TMRCA_T, and TMRCA_Total are the estimated times (in thousands of years) to most recent common ancestor for haplogrup P, haplogroup T, and the total sample, respectively. The growth rate, g, is reported in 10^-5 units per generation. Au-It and Au-NCE indicate the Italian and the northern/central European aurochsen, respectively.
