a Pairwise mismatch distributions for major clades based on the mtDNA. The coloured bars indicates the observed distribution of pairwise differences, and black dashed lines represent the theoretical expected distribution under a population expansion model. b The historical demographic trends represented by Extended Bayesian Skyline Plot (EBSP) based on Cytb. The median population size in the blue coloured lines, and the red lines representing the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals. The x-axis of the skyline plots is time in millions of years before the present, and they y–axis is the estimated effective population size (Ne)
