Correlation between mutation rate and HrU10 allele sizes. Relationship between mutation rate and length of genotyped alleles in the population of biological parents in a) barn swallows and b) tree swallows. The alleles were lumped into 4 size classes (barn swallows: class 1 = 100–199 bp, class 2 = 200–299 bp, class 3 = 300–399 bp, class 4 = 400+ bp; tree swallows: class 1 = 200–299 bp, class 2 = 300–399 bp, class 3 = 400–499 bp, class 4 = 500+ bp). n refers to number of alleles in the particular size class.
