morphological_data_Ldelicata_JBI13075

"morphological_data_Ldelicata_JBI13075.csv" contains the morphological measurements recorded from 1,188 L. delicata specimens across the native range in eastern Australia, and in the invasive ranges in New Zealand, Lord Howe Island, and the Hawaiian Islands. All specimens are identified by the ID code from the respective museums, with the year of collection, the sex of each specimen, and the respective range of distribution. See paper for more details on clade numbers and abbreviations for the morphological data

<i>Control region</i> haplotype network for the Otago skink.

<p>Each circle represents one haplotype and the size indicates the number of individuals with each haplotype. The lines indicate one base pair change between sequences. The different colours indicate the population(s) in which each haplotype is found. A) Wild Otago skink populations, B) Wild and captive Otago skinks, C) Wild Otago skinks and introgressed scree skinks.</p

Estimates of genetic diversity (mitochondrial <i>control region</i>) within Otago skink populations and regions.

<p><i>n</i> = sample size, <i>h</i> = number of haplotypes (the specific haplotypes present are indicated), <i>Hd</i> = haplotypic diversity, <i>M</i> = total number of mutations, <i>S</i> = number of segregating (polymorphic) sites, π = nucleotide diversity, RI = raggedness index, SSD = sum of squared deviations. Asterisks indicate significant Tajima's <i>D</i>, Fu's <i>F</i>s statistic, RI and SSD values.</p

Distribution of the Otago skink and several closely related species of New Zealand skinks.

<p>The distribution of <i>O. otagense</i> (black circles), <i>O. waimatense</i> (blue squares), <i>O. acrinasum</i> (green circles), <i>O. infrapunctatum</i> (red triangles), <i>O. taumakae</i> (orange square), and <i>O. pikitanga</i> (purple circle) is indicated. Several localities mentioned in the text are highlighted, including the locations of the <i>O. otagense</i> and <i>O. waimatense</i> samples used in this study. The dashed line indicates the estimated former distribution of <i>O. otagense </i><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0034599#pone.0034599-Whitaker1" target="_blank">[26]</a>. The distribution data is adapted from the Department of Conservation's BioWeb Herpetofauna database. Inset: Major geographic regions of New Zealand.</p

Oligonucleotide primers used in this study.

<p>The letters L and H refer to the light and heavy strands. Values in ‘5’ position' refer to the position of the 5′ position in the complete <i>Eumeces egregius</i> mtDNA sequence <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0034599#pone.0034599-Kumazawa1" target="_blank">[96]</a>.</p

Locality information and GenBank accession numbers for samples used in the phylogenetic analyses.

<p>Samples with CD or FT codes were obtained from the National Frozen Tissue Collection (NFTC) housed at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Samples with RE codes were obtained from ethanol preserved specimens housed at Te Papa, National Museum of New Zealand, Wellington (S codes refer to specimens from the former Ecology Division collection, now housed at Te Papa).</p
