Table S2: Estimated Population Histories for Swedish Cattle Breeds

Additional file 6 contains Table S2 with estimated population histories for Swedish cattle breeds. The CSV file, 51.7 KB in size, includes estimates from the GONE software for each breed, detailing effective population size over generations. It was authored by Dolapo Adepoju and last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Modeling historical effective population size trends based on the Ne column.
• Comparing demographic trajectories between different cattle breeds based on the Breed column.
• Analyzing population decline or growth over generations based on the Generation column.

Strengths

• The dataset provides a specific data point for effective population size (Ne) for each breed and generation.
• The data is structured with three clearly defined columns: Breed, Generation, and Ne.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
