Posterior densities of population demographic parameters estimated using the isolation-with-migration model (IM) implemented in IMa2p. These analyses used the combined dataset of three mitochondrial (1729 bp) and 15 nuclear exonic loci (11,209 bp). K represents the Kentish Plover C. alexandrinus; W represents the white-faced Plover C. dealbatus. a Population divergence times (T) of C. alexandrinus and C. dealbatus. b Population migration rates (2NM) represent the average number of individuals in each group that had previously migrated from the other group. Gene flow in both directions was significant. c Effective population sizes (Ne) of the two species and their most recent common ancestor
