The isolation and small effective population size of modern breeds has resulted in widespread inbreeding and the expression of a large number of genetic diseases.

We have also detected weak evidence for ongoing selective pressure in the human genome on the STK11 and CDH1, but these signals of selection may be artifacts of the very small effective population size of modern humans.

For all simulations, populations started invariably with N0 = 10,000 individuals (again, the effective population size estimated for modern populations) and grew according the theoretical expectation from each demographic hypothesis (see details in Figure  5).

To test this hypothesis, we formed a set of predictions that rely on a series of historical demographic variables including comparisons of effective population size in both the modern species and their common ancestor, as well as patterns of population size change in the history of the focal species.

We estimated historical parameters for the Norwegian red deer; i.e. time since immigration(s), effective population size through time, and the genetic effect of bottleneck(s) in modern times; in a coalescence framework using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) [ 51] and the DIY-ABC software ver. 1.0.4.37 [ 52].
