The file named 20101115CIdata.xls contains all the raw ecological and behavioural data collected at Christmas Island in October-November 2010 (abundance, depth, diet and pairing). Taxon abbreviations are as follows:

g = C. guttatissimus
h1 = C. guttatissimus X C. punctatofasciatus
p = C. punctatofasciatus
l = C. lunulatus
h2 = C. lunulatus X trifasciatus
t = C. trifasciatus 

--------------------------------

Microsatellite data (C. guttatissimus group only):

The five .geneious files are the microsatellite traces (and relative marker information) arranged per multiplex plate: the plate designation is the first alphanumerical code and the successive four numbers denote the markers present on each plate (e.g. plate GP01 contained a multiplex of markers Cpun01, 02, 04 and 06).

The file named 20130829_GP_MSAT_scores.xls contains the allelic data formatted for further analyses.

Microsatellite data for the C. trifasciatus group are deposited on DRYAD doi:10.5061/dryad.20fc5v4j

All sequence data are deposited on GenBank with accession numbers:
C. guttatissimus group: KF609281 - KF609366;
C. trifasciatus group: JQ012110 - JQ012216.
