MacrocnemisCoordsLocs: Coordinates and haplotypes for the R.macrocnemis Brown Frog...

Description Usage Format References Examples

Description

Rana macrocnemis (Amphibia, Ranidae) dataset, the Near Eastern brown frog, from a transition zone of landscapes in Georgia, Caucasus. Contains the coordinates and ecological characteristics of each sampling location along with the haplotypes found in each location. It is called using data(MacrocnemisCoordsLocs).

Format

In total 40 sampling locations with one haplotype in each. For each observation, longitude, latitude, plus 6 additional environmental coordinates are available: Four bioclimatic variables from the http://www.worldclim.org database (Annual Mean Temperature (degrees Celsius x 10), Temperature Annual Range (100 x standard deviation of monthly mean temperature), Annual Precipitation (in mm), Precipitation Seasonality), Coefficient of Variation (CV), altitude in meters as a proxy for a digital elevation model (DEM) and the land cover map (GLC2000) from http://worldgrids.org. In fact some sampling locations may be identical in terms of longitude and latitude, but are differentiated because of their additional covariates.
