Description
|
These are genetic and morphological data for samples of Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) collected across a south-western Ontario hybrid zone between two mitochondrial lineages, denoted as Eastern and Interior by Austin et al. (2002, 2004). Mitochondrial data span 2003-2011, and microsatellite and morphometrics from 2008-2011. These data were collected by Jim D. Austin (2003-2005) and Kathryn A. Stewart as parts of their doctoral theses under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Lougheed, Queen ’s University, Kingston Ontario.
Variables included in the data are as follows:
- First column represents ID numbers.
- Second column and third column represent capture person and year of collection, respectively.
- Fourth column represents population of origin.
- Fifth column designates sex of individual captured.
- Sixth column represents designated mtDNA lineage (following protocol from Austin et al. 2002).
- Columns seven to twenty-eight e ncompass 11 microsatellite primer data, wherein two alleles per locus are located in adjacent columns.
- Columns twenty-nine to thirty-six include morphometric information (Snout-Vent length or SVL, Head Width or HW, Radioulna, Femur, Tibia, Foot and Mass, respectively.
- Column thirty-seven records the date of capture of each individual.
