Table 5 Posterior parameter estimates (median and 95 % confidence intervals) for the best-supported scenario (scenario 1) considering the three mistletoe groups (BREE, SCHI and CALY). Estimates are based on 1 % of simulated datasets closest to the observed values. Simulations and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) analyses were performed considering both nrDNA and cpDNA sequences

  1. Parameters are N = effective population size for BREE (pop1, N1), SCHI (Pop2, N2), CALY (Pop3, N3), and the ancestral populations (Na), t = time since divergence after the Last Glacial Maximum (t1) and during Last Interglacial (t2), and μ = mutation rate for nuclear and chloroplast DNA, respectively. Habitat type abbreviations are as follows: SCHI cloud forests from San Luis Potosí to Oaxaca and Chiapas, CALY xeric vegetation in central Oaxaca, BREE tropical deciduous forests in Chiapas
