Description

Description of the dataset
This dataset contains morphological and genetic information of Aphrastura populations in different sample sites in Chile and Argentina. This dataset was analysed in: Rozzi R, Quilodrán CS, Botero-Delgadillo E, Napolitano C, Torres-Mura JC, Barroso O, Crego RD, Bravo C, Ippi S, Quirici V, Mackenzie R, Suazo CG, Rivero-de-Aguilar J, Goffinet B, Kempenaers B, Poulin E and RA Vásquez. 2022. The Subantarctic Rayadito (Aphrastura subantarctica), a new bird species on the southernmost islands of the Americas. Scientific Reports.

There are three files: 

  • Subantarctic_Rayadito_Morphology.txt: morphological information used for differentiating Aphrastura subantarctica from Aphrastura spinicauda. The former was sampled in the Diego Ramirez archipelago. The date of sampling is included in the last column. 
  • Subantarctic_Rayadito_Microsatellite.txt: all captured and genotyped adults from five populations. The band (ring) number is used as an ID for each individual bird. The matrix includes information regarding the locality of origin (MA: Manquehue; BA: Bariloche; TF: Tierra del Fuego; NI: Navarino Island; DR: Diego Ramírez Archipelago), and allele size (number of repeats) at 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci.
  • Subantarctic_Rayadito_mtDNA.nex: mtDNA information for all Aphrastura individuals sequenced and used in our analysis. The labels denote the code number and location for each individual (DR: Diego Ramirez Archipelago; CH: Cape Horn Island ; Navarino : Navarino Island; TdelFuego : Tierra del Fuego; PtoNatales : Puerto Natales ; ElChalten : El Chalten;  CalTortel : Caleta Tortel ; Coihayque : Coihayque ; Chaiten : Chaiten ; LosAlerces : Los Alerces ; Chiloe : Chiloé Island ; IslaMocha : Mocha Island ; Curacautin : Curacautin ; Rinihue : Rinihue ; Epulauquen : Epu Lauquen ; Constitucion : Constitución ; Manquehue : Manquehue ; FrayJorge : Fray Jorge National Park).
