HMTdistribution.csv 
________________________

Columns
1) HMT_ID - Code according to project-specific list of High-Mountain Taxa
2) TAXON - Species name according to HTM list
3) MT_SYS - Mountain system: A = Alps, C = Carpathians
4) GRID_CELL - Code of grid cell (cf. Gugerli et al. 2008)

IBDcoordinates.csv
________________________

Columns
1) GRID_CELL - Code of grid cell (cf. Gugerli et al. 2008)
2) Lon - Longitude of central point within grid cell (decimal degrees North, WGS84)
3) Lat - Latitude of central point within grid cell (decimal degrees East, WGS84)
4) MT_SYS - Mountain system: A = Alps, C = Carpathians
5) USED - included ('A') or not included ('B') in IntraBioDiv analyses

Genetic data
++++++++++

- Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) data from three primer/enzyme combinations scored as presence (1) or absence (0)
- Individuals in rows 
- AFLP markers in columns

Columns
1) GRID_CELL - Code of grid cell (cf. Gugerli et al. 2008)
2) longitude - Longitude of sampling location (decimal degrees North, WGS84)
3) latitude - Latitude of sampling location (decimal degrees East, WGS84)
4-X) AFLP markers, with X-3 = number of AFLP markers scored in a given species

Codes
1 - AFLP marker present
0 - AFLP marker absent
NA - Missing data
Individual labels: 3 letters for species (see below), three digits for grid cell (cf. Gugerli et al. 2008); 1 digit for individual number within a linear transect (1, 2, 3, 4; X = replicate of plant 1 as blind sample), occasionally 1 letter for electrophoresis run (A = original; B = replicate)
