Abstract
The rapid advance of sequencing technology coupled with improvements in molecular methods for obtaining geneticdata from ancient sources holds the promise of producing a wealth of genomic data from time-separated individualsHowever the population-genetic properties of time-structured samples have not been extensively explored Here weconsider the implications of temporal sampling for analyses of genetic differentiation and use a temporal coalescentframework to show that complex historical events such as size reductions population replacements and transientgenetic barriers between populations leave a footprint of genetic differentiation that can be traced through historyusing temporal samples Our results emphasize explicit consideration of the temporal structure when making inferencesand indicate that genomic data from ancient individuals will greatly increase our ability to reconstruct populationhistory

IntroductionRecent advances in molecular genetics have opened up thepossibility of using temporal genetic samples to answer bio-logical questions including studies focusing on viruses(Rodrigo and Felsenstein 1999) and studies of animal andhuman remains (Shapiro and Hofreiter 2014) DNA extractionfrom fossils or ancient material was pioneered some 3 decadesago (Higuchi et al 1984 Paabo 1985) but the field of ancientDNA has been plagued by problems such as contaminationfrom modern-day DNA postmortem DNA damage and lowlevels of endogenous DNA However many problems havebeen resolved in the last few years For example the highfrequency of postmortem damage in ancient DNA sequences(Briggs et al 2007) can be difficult to distinguish from biolog-ical polymorphisms but experimental solutions have beendeveloped such as using enzymes to repair damaged nucleo-tides (Briggs et al 2010) Likewise problems arising from con-tamination from present-day individuals can becircumvented using these same postmortem damage pat-terns (Krause et al 2010 Meyer et al 2014 Skoglund et al2014) coupled with an assessment of whether the DNA orig-inates from a single individual (Green et al 2010 Krause et al2010) These advances have resulted in a remarkable devel-opment exemplified by the explosion in genomic studies ofancient hominid remains such as the sequencing of theNeandertal genome (Green et al 2010 Prufer et al 2014)the Denisova genome (Reich et al 2010 Meyer et al 2012)and genomic investigations of several prehistoric humans(Rasmussen et al 2010 Keller et al 2012 Sanchez-Quinto
et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012 Raghavan et al 2014)There are even isolated examples of DNA preservation infossils that are hundreds of thousands years old (Orlandoet al 2013 Meyer et al 2014) The new sequencing technol-ogies have been instrumental for this development simplybecause they work with massive amounts of short-frag-mented DNA which is the state in which we find postmor-tem DNA
Theoretical aspects of temporal genetic differentiationhave not been extensively investigated even though manyof the classical population-genetic parameters such asWrightrsquos F-statistics (Wright 1949) stem from temporalmodels For example temporal differences between ancientsamples as well as between ancient samples and modern-dayones complicate interpretations of population-genetic struc-ture Even in the absence of population structure genetic driftis expected to produce genetic differences between geneticdata from different points in time (Krimbas and Tsakas 1971Waples 1989 Nordborg 1998 Anderson et al 2000 Wang2001 Berthier et al 2002 Beaumont 2003 Depaulis et al2009 Nystrom et al 2012) which in practice makes separatinghistorical scenarios of replacement and genetic drift difficult(Nordborg 1998 Serre et al 2004 Haak et al 2005 Castroviejo-Fisher et al 2011 Sjodin et al 2014) However it may be de-sirable to use the temporal structure within a sample to makeinferences because time-structured data offer a new dimen-sion of information for learning about the demographic his-tory That important information can be extracted fromtemporal samples is illustrated by the long tradition of using

Fundamental Properties of Temporal GeneticStructure
Genetic drift results in differentiation between structuredpopulations (Wright 1940 1951) In a coalescent framework(Kingman 1982 Hudson 1990 Slatkin 1991) genetic differen-tiation between populations can be viewed as the effect of ashorter expected time of coalescence for lineages from thesame population E[TW] compared with the expected time ofcoalescence for lineages from different populations E[TB] Afundamental metric of genetic differentiation in structuredpopulations is Wrightrsquos fixation index FST which in coalescentterms corresponds to 1[E[TW]((E[TW] + E[TB])2)] whereE[TW] and E[TB] are averaged across populations and com-parisons (Slatkin 1991) Taking mutations into account thiscan be expressed in terms of probabilities of identity by de-scent (IBD) such as FST = (fw fb)(1 fb) Here fb is the prob-ability of IBD for lineages picked from different populationsand fw is the probability of IBD for lineages picked from thesame population (averaged over the different populations)For instance if f1 and f2 are the probabilities of IBD in twodifferent groups 1 and 2

In this article we consider FST for models where samples aredrawn from two time points and compare this situation to amodel where the two samples are drawn from different pop-ulations that diverged at some point in the past (fig 1)
If the population size N is constant the probability of IBDin both the temporal model and the divergence model forlineages picked from the same population is

where m is the mutation rate per site per generation and = 4Nm This is simply the probability that two lineages co-alesce before a mutation occurs (2m is the mutation rate inthe two lineages [ignoring m2 terms] and (2N)1 is the coa-lescence rate) As for the probability of IBD between popula-tions in the divergence model (fig 1A) it is

where T1 = t12N and T2 = t22N and t1 and t2 are the times (ingenerations) to the split of the two populations This expres-sion is derived from considering that neither lineage can havea mutation before they reach the ancestral population andonce in the ancestral population they must coalesce before amutation occurs (as above) Applying the same argument forthe temporal model (fig 1C) two lineages sampled t gener-ations apart will be IBD if there is no mutation in the youngerlineage during t generations and once in the ancestral pop-ulation the two lineages coalesce before any of them mutateHence

Note that this extends naturally also for models withboth divergence and temporal samples such as the modelin figure 1B However this simple relationship betweentemporal structure and divergence models only holdswhen the population size is constant When the populationsize is not constant FST in the temporal and divergencemodels is expected to be equal only under very specific con-ditions (see supplementary fig S1 Supplementary Materialonline)
Neirsquos Estimator of Divergence Time betweenPopulations
Based on a result from Nei (1973) it is commonly stated thatexpected FST in a divergence model with constant size equals1eT2 (letting T denote the total time in coalescent unitsthat separates two populations as above) This result wasderived under a very specific model assumptionmdashnamelythat all polymorphisms were present in the ancestral popu-lation Furthermore this only applies when sampling timesare equal because for a temporal model where polymor-phisms were present in the ancestral population we findinstead that FST = (1eT)2 (supplementary materialSupplementary Material online) Curiously simulations high-light the generality with which FST responds to genetic driftunder constant-size scenarios because Neirsquos case with ascer-tainment of polymorphic loci in the ancestral population ofthe divergence model (FST = 1eT2) corresponds to thetemporal case if ascertainment of polymorphisms is per-formed at the midpoint between the two temporalsamples (fig 2) Likewise the expectation when polymor-phisms are ascertained in the ancestral population of thetemporal model (FST = (1eT)2) corresponds to ascertain-ing in one of the two populations of the divergence model(fig 2)
FST and the Combined Effect of Migration andTemporal Structure
We study the effect of migration by considering a simpleislandstepping-stone model with two populationsdemesof equal size N and a symmetric migration rate m betweenthem and with the two populations being sampled t gener-ations apart In this case FST can be shown to be

where = 4Nm M = 2Nm and T = t2N (see supplementarymaterial Supplementary Material online) As M increases thisexpression converges to the formula for FST in a pure tempo-ral model with a population of constant but twice as largeeffective population size (so that the scaled mutation rate islarger by a factor 2 whereas the scaled time is half as largecompare to eq 5 above) Intuitively increasing the migrationrate lowers FST whereas an increase in time between thesampled time points increases FST (fig 3) Importantly for afixed value of FST (and ) there is no definite solution in termsof M because this will depend on T so that FST is not a directmeasure of migration rate under this model unless T is known(which requires that N and t are known) This is similar to thedifficulty associated with differentiating between populationsplit time and migration in spatial divergence models (Nielsenand Wakeley 2001)
ResultsThe simple theoretical models considered above indicate thatboth temporal structure and spatial structure affect FST in arather similar manner but that their effects are sufficiently

Stepping-Stone Migration Model with TemporalSamples
In contrast to isolation models stepping-stone migrationmodelsmdashwhere populations (demes) are connected in one-or two-dimensional landscapesmdashtypically result in continu-ous differentiation between individuals rather than discretegenetic clusters of individuals (Novembre and Stephens 2008Engelhardt and Stephens 2010) Given that temporal geneticstructure also affects expected coalescence times betweenlineages it can be expected that temporal differentiationwould display similar behavior To demonstrate this phenom-enon we designed a temporal simulation algorithm (seeMaterials and Methods) based on Hudsonrsquos ldquomsrdquo coalescencesimulation software (Hudson 2002) and simulated a modelwith 100 demes in a two-dimensional habitat (10 10 lattice)with stepping-stone migration We used 4Nem = 2 where m isthe fraction of each subpopulation made up of new migrantseach generation (note that scaling in ms is slightly different tothe theory above) and sampled one haploid individual fromeach deme at ten time points separated by t = 4Ne genera-tions creating a three-dimensional model comprising the two
spatial dimensions and the temporal dimension (fig 4A)Because of the increased complexity of the data pairwisecomparisons such as FST are poorly suited to analyze theresults Instead we used principal component analysis(PCA) to summarize and visualize the resulting population-genetic data (see Materials and Methods) PCA and FST havestrong conceptual connections with principal components(PCs) being closely related to the average coalescent timesbetween pairs of haploid genomes (McVean 2009) We findthat the first three PCs mirror the three dimensions of themodel (three-dimensional Procrustes correlation 0984Plt 105) (fig 4B) Specifically PC1 and PC2 represented iso-lation-by-distance in the two-dimensional habitat whereasPC3 represented temporal differentiation (supplementaryfig S2 Supplementary Material online) but this order ofPCs will depend on the relative magnitudes of the scaledmigration rate and genetic drift between time points(McVean 2009)
Temporal Genetic Differentiation Can Be Informativeabout Complex Population Histories
As illustrated in figure 1C genetic differentiation can alsooccur in the absence of any spatial structure that is in sam-ples taken at different time points from a single continuous(unstructured) population To investigate temporal differen-tiation more closely we simulated a single continuous pop-ulation with an effective population size of 5000 diploidindividuals and a generation time of 25 years sampling 20diploid individuals from the present and an additional 20diploid individuals evenly distributed over the period 500ndash10000 years ago with a 500-year interval between each sam-pled individual (fig 5A) In a PCA we see that PC1 capturesthe temporal genetic differentiation separating the samplesfrom the most recent to the most ancient as a monotonic(but not linear) cline where individuals close in time are alsomore genetically similar (fig 5D and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) To investigate the effect ofpopulation size fluctuations (ie fluctuations in the magni-tude of genetic drift) we reduced the population to a tenth ofits original size between 5000 and 5500 years before presentUnder this sampling scheme the bottleneck is easily detectedas a discontinuation in the monotonic cline (fig 5B and E andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online)
We also simulated population-genetic data under a diver-gence model of two populations that diverged 10000 yearsago (fig 5C) Ten ancient individuals were sampled at differenttime points between 10000 and 5500 years from one popu-lation and 30 individuals were sampled from the other pop-ulation between 5000 years ago and the present (ten ancientindividuals spread out in time and 20 present-day individuals)This simulation could correspond to a scenario where theolder population was replaced with new colonizers from an-other population In the simulated data individuals sampledbefore the replacement event show a trajectory along PC1through time that is angled away from the individuals in thepopulation that replaced the previous population (fig 5F andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online) In

contrast in the bottleneck scenario the sampled individualsfrom before the bottleneck event show a trajectory along PC1as a function of time that is angled toward the individuals inthe descendant population (fig 5E and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) However FST between theancient individuals from before and after the event was in-distinguishable under the bottleneck model and the replace-ment model (00154 00003 and 00153 00003respectively fig 6) To complement the PCA approach we
reconstructed maximum-likelihood trees (supplementary figS4 Supplementary Material online) using the covariance inallele frequencies between individuals (Pickrell and Pritchard2012) and other pairwise FST comparisons (fig 6) This analysisgave different results depending on the way the samples wereobtained The two scenarios were (again) indistinguishable ifthe samples were grouped into three separate temporal sam-ples In contrast if the full temporal structure was accountedfor so that each sample was treated independently the

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes
Transient Genetic Barriers
To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

and positive values of C indicate concordance with the pro-posed topology

variance in allele frequencies between multi-individual sam-ples from discrete time points to infer effective population size(Krimbas and Tsakas 1971 Waples 1989 Anderson et al 2000Wang 2001 Berthier et al 2002 Beaumont 2003) and methodsfor using single-locus nonrecombining markers such as mito-chondrial DNA to infer population size changes (Drummondet al 2005 Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Chan et al 2006Drummond and Rambaut 2007 Ramakrishnan and Hadly2009 Navascues et al 2010 Ho and Shapiro 2011)Furthermore the coalescent model (Kingman 1982) is readilyadapted to accommodate time-serial samples (Rodrigo andFelsenstein 1999) and several simulation tools that handletemporal samples have been developed (Anderson et al2005 Jakobsson 2009 Excoffier and Foll 2011) However theuse of genomic data from temporal samples for inferring morecomplex population histories remains largely unexplored Asthe quality and quantity of ancient genomic data is increasingwe need a better understanding of how temporal structureaffects genetic differentiation and diversity In this article wefirst illustrate how temporal structure relates to classicalmodels of population structure by calculating Wrightrsquos fixa-tion index FST in simple demographic models which providesan intuitive understanding of the problem at hand Secondwe demonstrate that genetic data from temporal samples cangreatly aid inferences of population history by highlightingseveral instances where wide temporal sampling can provideinsights that would be hard to obtain otherwise
Fundamental Properties of Temporal GeneticStructure
Genetic drift results in differentiation between structuredpopulations (Wright 1940 1951) In a coalescent framework(Kingman 1982 Hudson 1990 Slatkin 1991) genetic differen-tiation between populations can be viewed as the effect of ashorter expected time of coalescence for lineages from thesame population E[TW] compared with the expected time ofcoalescence for lineages from different populations E[TB] Afundamental metric of genetic differentiation in structuredpopulations is Wrightrsquos fixation index FST which in coalescentterms corresponds to 1[E[TW]((E[TW] + E[TB])2)] whereE[TW] and E[TB] are averaged across populations and com-parisons (Slatkin 1991) Taking mutations into account thiscan be expressed in terms of probabilities of identity by de-scent (IBD) such as FST = (fw fb)(1 fb) Here fb is the prob-ability of IBD for lineages picked from different populationsand fw is the probability of IBD for lineages picked from thesame population (averaged over the different populations)For instance if f1 and f2 are the probabilities of IBD in twodifferent groups 1 and 2
FST frac1405 f1 thorn f2eth THORN fb
1 fb eth1THORN
In this article we consider FST for models where samples aredrawn from two time points and compare this situation to amodel where the two samples are drawn from different pop-ulations that diverged at some point in the past (fig 1)
If the population size N is constant the probability of IBDin both the temporal model and the divergence model forlineages picked from the same population is
f1 frac14 f2 frac142Neth THORN1
2Neth THORN1thorn 2m
frac141
1thorn y eth2THORN
where m is the mutation rate per site per generation and = 4Nm This is simply the probability that two lineages co-alesce before a mutation occurs (2m is the mutation rate inthe two lineages [ignoring m2 terms] and (2N)1 is the coa-lescence rate) As for the probability of IBD between popula-tions in the divergence model (fig 1A) it is

where T1 = t12N and T2 = t22N and t1 and t2 are the times (ingenerations) to the split of the two populations This expres-sion is derived from considering that neither lineage can havea mutation before they reach the ancestral population andonce in the ancestral population they must coalesce before amutation occurs (as above) Applying the same argument forthe temporal model (fig 1C) two lineages sampled t gener-ations apart will be IBD if there is no mutation in the youngerlineage during t generations and once in the ancestral pop-ulation the two lineages coalesce before any of them mutateHence

Note that this extends naturally also for models withboth divergence and temporal samples such as the modelin figure 1B However this simple relationship betweentemporal structure and divergence models only holdswhen the population size is constant When the populationsize is not constant FST in the temporal and divergencemodels is expected to be equal only under very specific con-ditions (see supplementary fig S1 Supplementary Materialonline)
Neirsquos Estimator of Divergence Time betweenPopulations
Based on a result from Nei (1973) it is commonly stated thatexpected FST in a divergence model with constant size equals1eT2 (letting T denote the total time in coalescent unitsthat separates two populations as above) This result wasderived under a very specific model assumptionmdashnamelythat all polymorphisms were present in the ancestral popu-lation Furthermore this only applies when sampling timesare equal because for a temporal model where polymor-phisms were present in the ancestral population we findinstead that FST = (1eT)2 (supplementary materialSupplementary Material online) Curiously simulations high-light the generality with which FST responds to genetic driftunder constant-size scenarios because Neirsquos case with ascer-tainment of polymorphic loci in the ancestral population ofthe divergence model (FST = 1eT2) corresponds to thetemporal case if ascertainment of polymorphisms is per-formed at the midpoint between the two temporalsamples (fig 2) Likewise the expectation when polymor-phisms are ascertained in the ancestral population of thetemporal model (FST = (1eT)2) corresponds to ascertain-ing in one of the two populations of the divergence model(fig 2)
FST and the Combined Effect of Migration andTemporal Structure
We study the effect of migration by considering a simpleislandstepping-stone model with two populationsdemesof equal size N and a symmetric migration rate m betweenthem and with the two populations being sampled t gener-ations apart In this case FST can be shown to be

where = 4Nm M = 2Nm and T = t2N (see supplementarymaterial Supplementary Material online) As M increases thisexpression converges to the formula for FST in a pure tempo-ral model with a population of constant but twice as largeeffective population size (so that the scaled mutation rate islarger by a factor 2 whereas the scaled time is half as largecompare to eq 5 above) Intuitively increasing the migrationrate lowers FST whereas an increase in time between thesampled time points increases FST (fig 3) Importantly for afixed value of FST (and ) there is no definite solution in termsof M because this will depend on T so that FST is not a directmeasure of migration rate under this model unless T is known(which requires that N and t are known) This is similar to thedifficulty associated with differentiating between populationsplit time and migration in spatial divergence models (Nielsenand Wakeley 2001)
ResultsThe simple theoretical models considered above indicate thatboth temporal structure and spatial structure affect FST in arather similar manner but that their effects are sufficiently

Stepping-Stone Migration Model with TemporalSamples
In contrast to isolation models stepping-stone migrationmodelsmdashwhere populations (demes) are connected in one-or two-dimensional landscapesmdashtypically result in continu-ous differentiation between individuals rather than discretegenetic clusters of individuals (Novembre and Stephens 2008Engelhardt and Stephens 2010) Given that temporal geneticstructure also affects expected coalescence times betweenlineages it can be expected that temporal differentiationwould display similar behavior To demonstrate this phenom-enon we designed a temporal simulation algorithm (seeMaterials and Methods) based on Hudsonrsquos ldquomsrdquo coalescencesimulation software (Hudson 2002) and simulated a modelwith 100 demes in a two-dimensional habitat (10 10 lattice)with stepping-stone migration We used 4Nem = 2 where m isthe fraction of each subpopulation made up of new migrantseach generation (note that scaling in ms is slightly different tothe theory above) and sampled one haploid individual fromeach deme at ten time points separated by t = 4Ne genera-tions creating a three-dimensional model comprising the two
spatial dimensions and the temporal dimension (fig 4A)Because of the increased complexity of the data pairwisecomparisons such as FST are poorly suited to analyze theresults Instead we used principal component analysis(PCA) to summarize and visualize the resulting population-genetic data (see Materials and Methods) PCA and FST havestrong conceptual connections with principal components(PCs) being closely related to the average coalescent timesbetween pairs of haploid genomes (McVean 2009) We findthat the first three PCs mirror the three dimensions of themodel (three-dimensional Procrustes correlation 0984Plt 105) (fig 4B) Specifically PC1 and PC2 represented iso-lation-by-distance in the two-dimensional habitat whereasPC3 represented temporal differentiation (supplementaryfig S2 Supplementary Material online) but this order ofPCs will depend on the relative magnitudes of the scaledmigration rate and genetic drift between time points(McVean 2009)
Temporal Genetic Differentiation Can Be Informativeabout Complex Population Histories
As illustrated in figure 1C genetic differentiation can alsooccur in the absence of any spatial structure that is in sam-ples taken at different time points from a single continuous(unstructured) population To investigate temporal differen-tiation more closely we simulated a single continuous pop-ulation with an effective population size of 5000 diploidindividuals and a generation time of 25 years sampling 20diploid individuals from the present and an additional 20diploid individuals evenly distributed over the period 500ndash10000 years ago with a 500-year interval between each sam-pled individual (fig 5A) In a PCA we see that PC1 capturesthe temporal genetic differentiation separating the samplesfrom the most recent to the most ancient as a monotonic(but not linear) cline where individuals close in time are alsomore genetically similar (fig 5D and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) To investigate the effect ofpopulation size fluctuations (ie fluctuations in the magni-tude of genetic drift) we reduced the population to a tenth ofits original size between 5000 and 5500 years before presentUnder this sampling scheme the bottleneck is easily detectedas a discontinuation in the monotonic cline (fig 5B and E andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online)
We also simulated population-genetic data under a diver-gence model of two populations that diverged 10000 yearsago (fig 5C) Ten ancient individuals were sampled at differenttime points between 10000 and 5500 years from one popu-lation and 30 individuals were sampled from the other pop-ulation between 5000 years ago and the present (ten ancientindividuals spread out in time and 20 present-day individuals)This simulation could correspond to a scenario where theolder population was replaced with new colonizers from an-other population In the simulated data individuals sampledbefore the replacement event show a trajectory along PC1through time that is angled away from the individuals in thepopulation that replaced the previous population (fig 5F andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online) In

contrast in the bottleneck scenario the sampled individualsfrom before the bottleneck event show a trajectory along PC1as a function of time that is angled toward the individuals inthe descendant population (fig 5E and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) However FST between theancient individuals from before and after the event was in-distinguishable under the bottleneck model and the replace-ment model (00154 00003 and 00153 00003respectively fig 6) To complement the PCA approach we
reconstructed maximum-likelihood trees (supplementary figS4 Supplementary Material online) using the covariance inallele frequencies between individuals (Pickrell and Pritchard2012) and other pairwise FST comparisons (fig 6) This analysisgave different results depending on the way the samples wereobtained The two scenarios were (again) indistinguishable ifthe samples were grouped into three separate temporal sam-ples In contrast if the full temporal structure was accountedfor so that each sample was treated independently the

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes
Transient Genetic Barriers
To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by
D frac14BABA ABBA
BABAthorn ABBA eth7THORN
and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by
C frac14AABBmaxethABBA BABATHORN

and positive values of C indicate concordance with the pro-posed topology

Note that this extends naturally also for models withboth divergence and temporal samples such as the modelin figure 1B However this simple relationship betweentemporal structure and divergence models only holdswhen the population size is constant When the populationsize is not constant FST in the temporal and divergencemodels is expected to be equal only under very specific con-ditions (see supplementary fig S1 Supplementary Materialonline)
Neirsquos Estimator of Divergence Time betweenPopulations
Based on a result from Nei (1973) it is commonly stated thatexpected FST in a divergence model with constant size equals1eT2 (letting T denote the total time in coalescent unitsthat separates two populations as above) This result wasderived under a very specific model assumptionmdashnamelythat all polymorphisms were present in the ancestral popu-lation Furthermore this only applies when sampling timesare equal because for a temporal model where polymor-phisms were present in the ancestral population we findinstead that FST = (1eT)2 (supplementary materialSupplementary Material online) Curiously simulations high-light the generality with which FST responds to genetic driftunder constant-size scenarios because Neirsquos case with ascer-tainment of polymorphic loci in the ancestral population ofthe divergence model (FST = 1eT2) corresponds to thetemporal case if ascertainment of polymorphisms is per-formed at the midpoint between the two temporalsamples (fig 2) Likewise the expectation when polymor-phisms are ascertained in the ancestral population of thetemporal model (FST = (1eT)2) corresponds to ascertain-ing in one of the two populations of the divergence model(fig 2)
FST and the Combined Effect of Migration andTemporal Structure
We study the effect of migration by considering a simpleislandstepping-stone model with two populationsdemesof equal size N and a symmetric migration rate m betweenthem and with the two populations being sampled t gener-ations apart In this case FST can be shown to be

where = 4Nm M = 2Nm and T = t2N (see supplementarymaterial Supplementary Material online) As M increases thisexpression converges to the formula for FST in a pure tempo-ral model with a population of constant but twice as largeeffective population size (so that the scaled mutation rate islarger by a factor 2 whereas the scaled time is half as largecompare to eq 5 above) Intuitively increasing the migrationrate lowers FST whereas an increase in time between thesampled time points increases FST (fig 3) Importantly for afixed value of FST (and ) there is no definite solution in termsof M because this will depend on T so that FST is not a directmeasure of migration rate under this model unless T is known(which requires that N and t are known) This is similar to thedifficulty associated with differentiating between populationsplit time and migration in spatial divergence models (Nielsenand Wakeley 2001)
ResultsThe simple theoretical models considered above indicate thatboth temporal structure and spatial structure affect FST in arather similar manner but that their effects are sufficiently

Stepping-Stone Migration Model with TemporalSamples
In contrast to isolation models stepping-stone migrationmodelsmdashwhere populations (demes) are connected in one-or two-dimensional landscapesmdashtypically result in continu-ous differentiation between individuals rather than discretegenetic clusters of individuals (Novembre and Stephens 2008Engelhardt and Stephens 2010) Given that temporal geneticstructure also affects expected coalescence times betweenlineages it can be expected that temporal differentiationwould display similar behavior To demonstrate this phenom-enon we designed a temporal simulation algorithm (seeMaterials and Methods) based on Hudsonrsquos ldquomsrdquo coalescencesimulation software (Hudson 2002) and simulated a modelwith 100 demes in a two-dimensional habitat (10 10 lattice)with stepping-stone migration We used 4Nem = 2 where m isthe fraction of each subpopulation made up of new migrantseach generation (note that scaling in ms is slightly different tothe theory above) and sampled one haploid individual fromeach deme at ten time points separated by t = 4Ne genera-tions creating a three-dimensional model comprising the two
spatial dimensions and the temporal dimension (fig 4A)Because of the increased complexity of the data pairwisecomparisons such as FST are poorly suited to analyze theresults Instead we used principal component analysis(PCA) to summarize and visualize the resulting population-genetic data (see Materials and Methods) PCA and FST havestrong conceptual connections with principal components(PCs) being closely related to the average coalescent timesbetween pairs of haploid genomes (McVean 2009) We findthat the first three PCs mirror the three dimensions of themodel (three-dimensional Procrustes correlation 0984Plt 105) (fig 4B) Specifically PC1 and PC2 represented iso-lation-by-distance in the two-dimensional habitat whereasPC3 represented temporal differentiation (supplementaryfig S2 Supplementary Material online) but this order ofPCs will depend on the relative magnitudes of the scaledmigration rate and genetic drift between time points(McVean 2009)
Temporal Genetic Differentiation Can Be Informativeabout Complex Population Histories
As illustrated in figure 1C genetic differentiation can alsooccur in the absence of any spatial structure that is in sam-ples taken at different time points from a single continuous(unstructured) population To investigate temporal differen-tiation more closely we simulated a single continuous pop-ulation with an effective population size of 5000 diploidindividuals and a generation time of 25 years sampling 20diploid individuals from the present and an additional 20diploid individuals evenly distributed over the period 500ndash10000 years ago with a 500-year interval between each sam-pled individual (fig 5A) In a PCA we see that PC1 capturesthe temporal genetic differentiation separating the samplesfrom the most recent to the most ancient as a monotonic(but not linear) cline where individuals close in time are alsomore genetically similar (fig 5D and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) To investigate the effect ofpopulation size fluctuations (ie fluctuations in the magni-tude of genetic drift) we reduced the population to a tenth ofits original size between 5000 and 5500 years before presentUnder this sampling scheme the bottleneck is easily detectedas a discontinuation in the monotonic cline (fig 5B and E andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online)
We also simulated population-genetic data under a diver-gence model of two populations that diverged 10000 yearsago (fig 5C) Ten ancient individuals were sampled at differenttime points between 10000 and 5500 years from one popu-lation and 30 individuals were sampled from the other pop-ulation between 5000 years ago and the present (ten ancientindividuals spread out in time and 20 present-day individuals)This simulation could correspond to a scenario where theolder population was replaced with new colonizers from an-other population In the simulated data individuals sampledbefore the replacement event show a trajectory along PC1through time that is angled away from the individuals in thepopulation that replaced the previous population (fig 5F andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online) In

contrast in the bottleneck scenario the sampled individualsfrom before the bottleneck event show a trajectory along PC1as a function of time that is angled toward the individuals inthe descendant population (fig 5E and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) However FST between theancient individuals from before and after the event was in-distinguishable under the bottleneck model and the replace-ment model (00154 00003 and 00153 00003respectively fig 6) To complement the PCA approach we
reconstructed maximum-likelihood trees (supplementary figS4 Supplementary Material online) using the covariance inallele frequencies between individuals (Pickrell and Pritchard2012) and other pairwise FST comparisons (fig 6) This analysisgave different results depending on the way the samples wereobtained The two scenarios were (again) indistinguishable ifthe samples were grouped into three separate temporal sam-ples In contrast if the full temporal structure was accountedfor so that each sample was treated independently the

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes

To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

Stepping-Stone Migration Model with TemporalSamples
In contrast to isolation models stepping-stone migrationmodelsmdashwhere populations (demes) are connected in one-or two-dimensional landscapesmdashtypically result in continu-ous differentiation between individuals rather than discretegenetic clusters of individuals (Novembre and Stephens 2008Engelhardt and Stephens 2010) Given that temporal geneticstructure also affects expected coalescence times betweenlineages it can be expected that temporal differentiationwould display similar behavior To demonstrate this phenom-enon we designed a temporal simulation algorithm (seeMaterials and Methods) based on Hudsonrsquos ldquomsrdquo coalescencesimulation software (Hudson 2002) and simulated a modelwith 100 demes in a two-dimensional habitat (10 10 lattice)with stepping-stone migration We used 4Nem = 2 where m isthe fraction of each subpopulation made up of new migrantseach generation (note that scaling in ms is slightly different tothe theory above) and sampled one haploid individual fromeach deme at ten time points separated by t = 4Ne genera-tions creating a three-dimensional model comprising the two
spatial dimensions and the temporal dimension (fig 4A)Because of the increased complexity of the data pairwisecomparisons such as FST are poorly suited to analyze theresults Instead we used principal component analysis(PCA) to summarize and visualize the resulting population-genetic data (see Materials and Methods) PCA and FST havestrong conceptual connections with principal components(PCs) being closely related to the average coalescent timesbetween pairs of haploid genomes (McVean 2009) We findthat the first three PCs mirror the three dimensions of themodel (three-dimensional Procrustes correlation 0984Plt 105) (fig 4B) Specifically PC1 and PC2 represented iso-lation-by-distance in the two-dimensional habitat whereasPC3 represented temporal differentiation (supplementaryfig S2 Supplementary Material online) but this order ofPCs will depend on the relative magnitudes of the scaledmigration rate and genetic drift between time points(McVean 2009)
Temporal Genetic Differentiation Can Be Informativeabout Complex Population Histories
As illustrated in figure 1C genetic differentiation can alsooccur in the absence of any spatial structure that is in sam-ples taken at different time points from a single continuous(unstructured) population To investigate temporal differen-tiation more closely we simulated a single continuous pop-ulation with an effective population size of 5000 diploidindividuals and a generation time of 25 years sampling 20diploid individuals from the present and an additional 20diploid individuals evenly distributed over the period 500ndash10000 years ago with a 500-year interval between each sam-pled individual (fig 5A) In a PCA we see that PC1 capturesthe temporal genetic differentiation separating the samplesfrom the most recent to the most ancient as a monotonic(but not linear) cline where individuals close in time are alsomore genetically similar (fig 5D and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) To investigate the effect ofpopulation size fluctuations (ie fluctuations in the magni-tude of genetic drift) we reduced the population to a tenth ofits original size between 5000 and 5500 years before presentUnder this sampling scheme the bottleneck is easily detectedas a discontinuation in the monotonic cline (fig 5B and E andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online)
We also simulated population-genetic data under a diver-gence model of two populations that diverged 10000 yearsago (fig 5C) Ten ancient individuals were sampled at differenttime points between 10000 and 5500 years from one popu-lation and 30 individuals were sampled from the other pop-ulation between 5000 years ago and the present (ten ancientindividuals spread out in time and 20 present-day individuals)This simulation could correspond to a scenario where theolder population was replaced with new colonizers from an-other population In the simulated data individuals sampledbefore the replacement event show a trajectory along PC1through time that is angled away from the individuals in thepopulation that replaced the previous population (fig 5F andsupplementary fig S3 Supplementary Material online) In

contrast in the bottleneck scenario the sampled individualsfrom before the bottleneck event show a trajectory along PC1as a function of time that is angled toward the individuals inthe descendant population (fig 5E and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) However FST between theancient individuals from before and after the event was in-distinguishable under the bottleneck model and the replace-ment model (00154 00003 and 00153 00003respectively fig 6) To complement the PCA approach we
reconstructed maximum-likelihood trees (supplementary figS4 Supplementary Material online) using the covariance inallele frequencies between individuals (Pickrell and Pritchard2012) and other pairwise FST comparisons (fig 6) This analysisgave different results depending on the way the samples wereobtained The two scenarios were (again) indistinguishable ifthe samples were grouped into three separate temporal sam-ples In contrast if the full temporal structure was accountedfor so that each sample was treated independently the

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes
Transient Genetic Barriers
To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes
Transient Genetic Barriers
To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by
D frac14BABA ABBA
BABAthorn ABBA eth7THORN
and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

and positive values of C indicate concordance with the pro-posed topology

maximum-likelihood trees revealed a difference between thebottleneck model and the replacement model These obser-vations illustrates that many inference tools can lead to in-correct conclusions for temporally sampled data and theyemphasize the importance of considering detailed temporalsampling structure for distinguishing between bottleneck andreplacement models It also illustrates that the considerablepower to distinguish different models that we report is notdirectly linked to the use of PCA methods but is mainly due tothe temporal sampling schemes
Transient Genetic Barriers
To study more complex population models we simulated apopulation split model which involved two populations (Aand B) that diverged 8000 years ago We kept the same sim-ulation parameters and temporal sampling scheme as abovebut assigned the 4 ancient individuals from 3500 4500 5500and 6500 years ago to population B and the remaining 16ancient individuals to population A (fig 7A) Strikingly thepopulation split event is readily identifiable when PC1 is strat-ified by sampling time (fig 7C and supplementary fig S3Supplementary Material online) In a further modificationof the model we simulated secondary admixture betweenthe two populations 3000 years before present and where75 of the genetic material of the recent population wascontributed by population A and 25 was contributed bypopulation B (fig 7B) A plot of PC1 versus sampling timeshows the two series of individuals represented by samplesfrom the two populations becoming more similar as timeapproaches the time of admixture (fig 7D and supplementaryfig S3 Supplementary Material online) suggesting that tran-sient genetic barriers can be investigated using continuoustemporal genetic data
Approximate Bayesian Computation Using TemporalGenetic Differentiation
The observation that some statistics of temporal genetic dif-ferentiation can recapitulate population history suggests that
those statistics can be used to infer population history inmore formal settings We used approximate Bayesian com-putation (Tavare et al 1997 Pritchard et al 1999 Beaumontet al 2002) to exemplify that temporal genetic data can beused to infer parameters of a demographic model based solelyon PC1 loadings of sampled individuals as summary statisticsWe applied this approach to a data set consisting of 44Siberian Woolly Mammoth samples spanning 50000 yearsand genotyped at four microsatellites (Nystrom et al 2012)The original study used conventional summary statistics andaggregated temporal groups to show that a population sizereduction during the Holocene transition could explain thefact that two temporal groups were genetically differentiatedHere we expand the inference to a three-parameter model(fig 8) The time of change the effective population sizebefore the change and the effective population size afterthe change allowing for either a reduction or expansion inpopulation size (see Materials and Methods) The estimatedposterior distribution indicates a size reduction at around11200 years ago with the effective population size in themore recent time period being approximately ten times smal-ler than before the change (table 1 and fig 8) The inferredtiming of this population size reduction coincides with theisolation of Wrangel Island from the Siberian mainland(Vartanyan et al 1993) and thus corroborates the hypothesisthat this restriction of the habitat triggered a founder event inthe resident mammoth population (Nystrom et al 20102012)
Pitfalls When Comparing Ancient Genomes toModern Populations
A common situation is that a single ancient genome is avail-able from a certain time point and the goal is to investigatethe historical relationship between the ancient individual andpresent-day populations To investigate the differentiationbetween a single ancient genome and more recent popula-tions we simulated ten individuals from each of two popu-lations (A and B) which diverged 20000 years ago

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time
points but that can be addressed with wide temporal samplesinclude the timing of bottlenecks and transient genetic bar-riers Conventional inference of the timing of population sizereductions usually requires assumptions about mutation rateandor recombination rate (Ramakrishnan et al 2005 Voightet al 2005 Li and Durbin 2011 Mourier et al 2012 Sheehanet al 2013) As illustrated for example in figure 5E the use ofcontinuously distributed temporal data allows accurate iden-tification of the time of population size reduction that isrobust to assumptions about mutation and recombinationrates For these reasons ancient genomic data promise toadvance our understanding of the recent evolutionary historyof many species
Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

Materials and MethodsTo investigate temporal structure under an infinitely many-sites mutation model and population structure (see alsoExcoffier and Foll 2011 Skoglund et al 2011) we developeda temporal coalescent simulation algorithm based onHudsonrsquos (2002) ms The idea here is to use the versatilityof ms to simulate a genealogy but use in-house custom codefor the mutation process to accommodate different branchlengths due to temporal structure The algorithm proceededas follows For a sample of size L ancient diploid individualswe instruct the program ms to create 2L isolated subpopu-lations and sample a single lineage from each At the desiredtime th of each historical sample each of the 2L subpopula-tion is joined (command ldquo-ejrdquo) with the appropriate popula-tion to which they belong From the gene tree output of ms(command ldquo-Trdquo) we subtract th from the external branch ofeach ancient sample and add a single mutation on the result-ing genealogy with probability equal to branch length(Hudson 1990) using custom code For example if there isone individual to be sampled at time 03 and five additionalindividuals at time 04 two lineages are joined to the popu-lation at time 03 and the remaining ten lineages join thepopulation at time 04 To increase precision we modifiedthe source code of ms to produce 12 decimal digits for eachbranch in the gene tree output The custom code is availableupon request We validated the algorithm by comparisonwith COMPASS (Jakobsson 2009) which allows temporalsamples but not from multiple populations Under themodel in figure 1A we obtained identical estimates ofFST = 0337 0001 for both algorithms as well as highly sim-ilar site frequency spectra (supplementary fig S5Supplementary Material online) For all simulations aboveexcept the two-dimensional spatial lattice and the WoollyMammoth analysis (see below) we simulated 2 100000independent (unlinked) SNPs for each individual and com-bined pairs of lineages to create a diploid genotype for eachindividual When time is given in years we assumed a 25-yeargeneration time except in the case of the Woolly Mammothwhere we assumed 15 years as in Nystrom et al (2012)
FST was estimated using equation (53) in Weir (1996) withstandard errors estimated using a block jackknife droppingblocks of 1000 loci in turn PCA was performed using theprcomp function in R 2111 (R Development Core Team2010) Except in the case of microsatellites and the three-

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by

ancient genome (15000 years ago fig 9B) the ancient sampleinstead clustered closer to population A (fig 9D) despite thefact that the ancient individual was sampled from the popu-lation that is ancestral to the extant sample from populationB This pattern is due to the fact that less time (on the coa-lescent scale) has passed between the ancient sample and theextant sample from population A and the genetic differenti-ation between the ancient individual and the extant samplefrom population A (FST = 0030 0001) was also smaller thanthe genetic differentiation between the ancient sample andthe extant sample from population B (FST = 0055 0001)Thus if the demographic history was unknown one couldpossibly mistakenly conclude that the ancient sample shares amore recent genetic history with population A solely due tothe different magnitudes of genetic drift Indeed the param-eter of historical interest is often the degree of shared historythat is the amount of shared genetic drift and not the relativedegrees of differentiation Accordingly we were able to iden-tify the correct topology (fig 9E and F) using concordancetests (Schlebusch et al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) and Dstatistics (Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Pattersonet al 2012) that are less sensitive to lineage-specific geneticdrift
DiscussionThe main insight that arises from our analyses is that widetemporal sampling provides information that can be hard toattain using modern-day data alone or more clustered tem-poral groups The importance of wide temporal samplingcould also explain previous results suggesting that notmuch statistical power is gained solely by adding one or afew temporal sample groups (Mourier et al 2012) Spatialsampling structure can also have a substantial impact oninferences of population history using modern-day data(Serre and Paabo 2004 Rosenberg et al 2005 Chikhi et al2010 DeGiorgio and Rosenberg 2013) in which case differen-tiating between the relative contributions of migration andgenetic drift because population divergence is a serious chal-lenge (Nielsen and Wakeley 2001) In contrast to the manysimilarities between spatial and temporal structure that wehave highlighted the possibility of migration in the differentdimensions represents a fundamental difference because mi-gration of lineages is not possible in the temporal dimension(except in the case of overlapping generations or seed bankmodels see Kaj et al [2001]) resulting in a more constrainedset of models that may be consistent with a particular patternof genetic variation
One of the enduring challenges in population-genetic anal-ysis of ancient DNA is whether some observed level of geneticdifferentiation between temporal sample groups is the resultof genetic drift (possibly enhanced by a bottleneck) or theresult of a replacement of the older population with newcolonizers from another population (Nordborg 1998) Weshow that this question can be addressed by consideringthe trajectory of genetic relatedness within a temporalsample that spans the time of the putative eventAdditional hypotheses about population history that are dif-ficult to address with genetic data from one or a few time

dimensional stepping-stone model with temporal sampleswe used the normalization suggested by Patterson et al(2006) For the 44 mammoth individuals in Nystrom et al(2012) that had no missing data for the four microsatelliteswe considered each unique microsatellite allele to be a sep-arate marker which were given a count of 0 1 or 2 copies ineach individual Maximum-likelihood trees were inferredusing TreeMix version 111 (Pickrell and Pritchard 2012) as-suming no migration and using a block size of 1000 SNPs forestimating standard errors
To confirm the relationship between temporal structureand divergence models we estimated FST between two sam-ples of 15 diploid individuals each for three simulated demo-graphic models with a constant effective population size (Ne)(fig 1) In the first model (A) both samples were from thesame time point but from two populations that had divergedT = 05 time units into the past (fig 1A) The second model(B) assumed that one sample was T = 05 time units olderthan the other and that the two samples were from differentpopulations that diverged T = 075 time units into the past(fig 1B) The third model assumed a single continuous pop-ulation but with one sample T = 10 coalescent time units(2Ne generations) older than the other (fig 1C) Most impor-tantly in all three models the total coalescent time thatpasses as one follows the history from one sample to theother is T = 10 In all three models we also estimate FST toapproximately 033 (0337 0001 [1 standard error]0334 0001 and 0335 0001 respectively)
To simulate microsatellite data we implemented a step-wise mutation model with = 103 for COMPASS(Jakobsson 2009) as in Nystrom et al (2012) where eachmutation event either (with equal probability) adds or sub-tracts one unit from an arbitrarily chosen starting length(100) After this simulation we considered each simulated(unique) microsatellite allele as its own marker which wascounted as above and used that information as input for thePCA We used the PC1 loading of each individual as summarystatistic (in total a vector of 44 summary statistics) We sim-ulated 100000 replicates from which 02 of the replicateswith the smallest Euclidian distance to the empirical PC1loadings were used to obtain posterior distributions usinglocal linear regression (Beaumont et al 2002) after log trans-formation as implemented in the abc R package (Csillery et al2012)
To investigate the population topology inferred fromsingle individuals we applied tests that utilize sharing of de-rived alleles D-statistics were computed using a strategy ofsampling a single haploid gene copy from each population(Reich et al 2009 Durand et al 2011 Patterson et al 2012)We tested all three possible topologies that could be con-structed using four taxa Population A population B the an-cient individual and an outgroup individual (gray symbol infig 9E and F) that was taken to carry the ancestral allele(which is given in the ms simulations) Specifically the topol-ogies tested were (Outgroup (Ancient (population A pop-ulation B))) (Outgroup (population A (Ancient populationB))) and (Outgroup (population B (Ancient populationA))) For a proposed topology of the form (Outgroup (J (Y
Z))) we denote the count of all observations of a sharedderived allele (ldquoBrdquo) for J and Y that is absent fromOutgroup and Z by ldquoABBArdquo (here ldquoBrdquo symbolizes the derivedstate and ldquoArdquo the ancestral state) and the count of all obser-vations of a shared derived allele for J and Z that is absentfrom Outgroup and Y by ldquoBABArdquo The D-statistic is given by

and a deviation from zero suggest a violation of the proposedtopology We computed concordance statistics (Schlebuschet al 2012 Skoglund et al 2012) using the same data andtesting the same topologies but these tests also use the con-figuration where Z and Y share a derived allele that is absentfrom Outgroup and J which we denote ldquoAABBrdquo The concor-dance statistic is given by
