Abstract excerpt
Scaling is a common practice in population genetic simulations to increase computational efficiency. However, few studies systematically examine the effects of scaling on diversity estimates and the comparability of scaled results to unscaled simulations and empirical data. We investigate the effects of scaling in two species, modern humans and Drosophila melanogaster. These species have stark differences in...
