Format

A data frame with the following columns:

Mate

Rough Butt is represented by R and White Side is represented by W. For example, Cross=W/R indicates a White Side female was crossed with a Rough Butt male.

Male

Identification number of the male salamander. A factor.

Female

Identification number of the female salamander. A factor.
