Fig. 2: The Best Historical Demographic Model of <i>C. sieboldii</i>

Caption

In this model, after the Ryukyu (R) and the West (W) Group diverged, the Japan Sea (J) and the East (E) Group diverged from the West (W) Group. West and East Group includes populations in western and eastern parts of the main islands along the Pacific Coast, respectively. The branch length is proportional to the number of generations, with the major splits in the species estimated to have occurred 118,400 and 43,100 years ago, assuming that one generation of C. sieboldii is 100 years.
