Summary

These data were compiled to investigate the demographic, phylogeographic, and adaptation history of Hilaria jamesii. The data release consists of three tab delimited text files that may be used to infer population structure or putative adaptive loci (hija_adaptation_dataset.stru), relationships among sampling localities (hija_phylogeny_dataset.phylip), or genetic diversity statistics (hija_diversity_stats.vcf). All files record genetic variation on an individual (.stru and .vcf) or sampling locality (.phylip) level. The .vcf file contains all of the information contained in the other files, but the file structures vary based on the programs used for analysis. These files may be opened and edited in a text editor program, such as Notepad [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to describe the population structure, intraspecific relationships, genetic diversity, and putative adaptive loci in Hilaria jamesii. With knowledge of these patterns, we investigated the phylogeographic history of the species and how that history related to its historical and contemporary patterns of adaptation to regional environmental gradients. The datasets archived herein can be used to further investigate evolutionary or ecological processes that affect Hilaria jamesii, or they may be used to reconfirm the patterns reported in Massatti and Knowles 2020 (see Larger Work Citation). Ultimately, these data will be used to inform restoration management decisions regarding seed transfer guidelines and native plant materials development.
