Z.3pops.4.arlequin

This is a text file in Arlequin input format and represents Z chromosome data for three groups (2 C. urophasianus - one (GRSG) is the southern part of the range and the other (BiState) is the diverged population on the border between California and Nevada). The third group is Gunnison Sage-grouse

HC.auto.2pops

This file is a text file in Arelquin input format. It could easily be manipulated into other formats. The 2 groups represent autosome data for 2 species C. urophasianus and C. minimus

HC.auto.3pops

This file is a text file in Arelquin input format. It contains autosome SNP genotypes for three groups. Two groups of C. urophasianus (one is GRSG which represents the southern part of the range and the other is BiState which represents the diverged population on the border between California and Nevada). The third group is the Gunnison Sage-grouse data

mean FST by chromosome

This file is a text file that shows the mean FST values between C. urophasianus and C. minimus for each chromosome (1 - 10) as well as the Z chromosome
