Empirical genotypic data of Artibeus lituratus from Paraguay and Argentina

This file contains fragment analysis results from genotyping Artibeus lituratus. Genomic DNA was extracted with a QIAGEN DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit, following manufacturer’s instructions. Five hundred and twenty-six bats were genotyped at 15 microsatellite loci: 3 originally developed for A. jamaicensis (Ortega et al. 2002), and 12 developed specifically for A. lituratus (McCulloch & Stevens 2011). Thermocycler settings, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions, genotyping and scoring information are given in Table S2 and the supplementary methods (Appendix S1) of the associated publication. Genotyped bats came from 19 sites, 14 in eastern Paraguay and 5 in Misiones, Argentina. Data table columns contain, in order, the following information: individual identifiers (original collector number), the site from which bats were collected (refer to Appendix for site abbreviations and additional information), fragment length for each microsatellite locus at each allele (aka "locus1_allele1", "locus2_allele2", "locus2_allele1", ...). Missing data are indicated with "0".
