Figure 6

Parameter space of U (mutation rate) and s (selection coefficient). Data presented represents the parameter space of U and s for which our model retrieves values of number of extinctions, and mean and variance in extinction time compatible with the empirical data (20 extinctions, mean extinction time of 8.55 bottlenecks, and variance of 16.15). Data on this figure correspond to simulated data for which 1 in 20 replicates obey to the following restrictions: 20 extinctions, mean extinction time between 6.5 and 10.5, and variance between 12 and 20. This set of simulations were carried out for U between 0.1 and 10 every 0.1, and s between 0.02 and 0.20 every 0.005.
