Response of summary statistics to recombination rates changing logistically over time. Black lines show mean (solid) and 95% confidence intervals (dotted) of summary statistic values. The red line indicates how the recombination rate changes over time (ρ per kb). Note the lag between changes in the recombination rate and changes in summary statistic values. Compare responses for constant recombination, as well as linearly, exponentially and logistically increasing and decreasing recombination rates, in Additional file 1: Figure S1, Additional file 2: Figure S2, Additional file 3: Figure S3, Additional file 4: Figure S4, Additional file 5: Figure S5, Additional file 6: Figure S6 and Additional file 7: Figure S7.
