Morphometric data from: Incongruent molecular and morphological variation in the crab spider Synema globosum (Araneae: Thomisidae) in Europe

Here we provide the complete set of files used by Urfer et al. (2021, see References section below for the complete citation of the publication) for the morphometric and the molecular analysis. In particular, we provide the following documents:

PART 1: MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS

- 1_Synema_data_multiple_imputation_mice.R: R-script used for replacing NAs.

- 1_Synema_data_NA_imputed.csv: Dataset with raw values (in millimeters) of all 28 specimens used for the morphometric analysis. Each specimen was measured 4 times. NAs replaced using the R-script "Synema_multiple_imputation_mice.R" above. This is the datafile used for all morphometric analyses.

- 1_Synema_data_with_NA.csv: Dataset with raw values (in millimeters) of all 28 specimens. Each specimen was measured 4 times. NAs not replaced.

- 1_Synema_Reliability.R: R-script for calculating reliability.

- 1_Synema_Reliability_supplementary_figure.pdf: Results of reliability analysis presented in a bar plot.

- 1_Synema_Reliability_supplementary_table.txt: Results of reliability analysis presented in a table.

- 1_Synema_Shape_PCA_and_PCA_Ratio_Spectrum.R: R-script for calculating the shape PCA and the PCA Ratio Spectrum of the first shape PC. You may get the necessary MRA source script from http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4250142

- Synema_globosum_AR9379_PV.jpg, Synema_globosum_AR9379_PV.jpg, Synema_globosum_AR9379_PV.jpg, etc.: Photographs taken with a LEICA M205 C stere-omicroscope.

    1. Numbers after AR_ refer to the inventory number of the specimens in the Natural History Musuem Bern (NMBE). The specimen number was also used in the data file.
    2. The photo named "Synema_globosum_AR9163_with_measurements" shows the position of the measurements. Otherwise, the measurements are not indicated in the raw photos.
