  1. Θ (Effective population size [Ne] * mutation rate [μ]), migration rates (M), and the number of effective migrants per generation (Nem) among three larger populations in the SW Pacific as estimated by MIGRATE. Populations were pooled: Australia; Papua New Guinea (PNG); Southern Pacific (S'Pacific). For immigration occurring between populations, the upper row is the receiving population and the left column is the broadcasting population. Θ values are given in the diagonal. The first number in the other cells is Nem, derived by calculating (Θ * M)/4, and the numbers in parentheses are migration rates (M). The number of alleles used were (ATPSb-iII/ITS) for Australia: 116/186; PNG: 26/38; and S'Pacific: 34/46, for a total of 176/270.
