Table 4 Results of the M-ratio test for genetic bottleneck and estimates of effective population size of Taxus baccata populations. MR, the Garza-Williamson statistics (M-ratio); ΔMR, the difference between the equilibrium value of MR and the observed value; p value, the p value for the bottleneck test; LD-Ne, the linkage disequilibrium-based estimate of effective size; SF-Ne, the sibling frequency-based effective size; Mean Ne, the harmonic mean of Ne across two methods; Ne/N, the ratio of the mean effective to census population size; 95% CI, the 95% confidence interval

From: Trunk perimeter correlates with genetic bottleneck intensity and the level of genetic diversity in populations of Taxus baccata L
