The long-term effective population size,
N
e
, of each sample
location taken separately averaged 21 500 [range 14 200
(LA96) to 25 400 (SCER)] when calculated using the formula
based on the IAM. Calculations that assumed the
SMM resulted in estimates an order of magnitude higher
and averaged 314 000 [range 88 000 (LA96) to 456 000
(SCER)]. Estimates based on all samples combined were
not different from the separate sample locations.
