Genomic diversity and structure of a Neotropical microendemic fig tree

Genetic diversity is a key component of evolution and unraveling factors that promote genetic differentiation in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. One of the most diverse and ecologically important tree genera in tropical forests worldwide is Ficus (Moraceae). It has been suggested that, given the great dispersal capacity of pollinating fig wasps (Chalcidoidea; Agaonidae), the spatial genetic structure, particularly in monoecious fig species, should be weak. However, no studies have addressed the factors that determine the genetic structure of Ficus species in regions of high geological, geographic, and climatic complexity, such as the Mexican Transition Zone. Using nuclear single nucleotide polymorphisms (5,311 SNPs) derived from low-coverage whole genomes and 17 populations, we analyzed the population genomics of Ficus pringlei to characterize neutral and adaptive genetic variation and structure and its association with geographic barriers such as the Trans..., , , # Data from: Genomic diversity and structure of a Neotropical microendemic fig tree

The dataset contains genomic data from 71 individuals of Ficus pringlei, a tree species found in the tropical dry forest of western Mexico. The study aims to investigate the genetic structure and variation of F. pringlei and understand the factors influencing it. The researchers utilized nuclear single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to analyze the population genomics of the species.

The experimental procedures involved collecting genetic samples from the individuals and performing SNP analysis to characterize both neutral and adaptive genetic variation. The researchers examined the association between genetic structure and geographic barriers, such as the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, as well as environmental factors like climatic conditions.
