STR genotypes of 195 black grouse individuals

The data file contains the individual genotypes of 195 black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix) individuals, genotyped at 9 STR (microsatellite) loci.

The data is curated into 10 subpopulations as decribed in the accompanied publication.

The data is uploaded in the commonly used genepop file format.
, Samples were collected non-invasively over the whole study area (Styria, Austria) in the years 2013, 2015, 2016. Special measurements to guarantee best quality DNA where: collection of faeces only from fresh snow (maximum 5 days after snowfall). Invasive samples were collected from hunted birds during the hunting season. 250 samples were collected and processed.

Extraction and amplification procedures of DNA are described in: Sittenthaler M, Kunz F, Szymusik A, et al (2018) Fine-scale genetic structure in an eastern Alpine black grouse Tetrao tetrix metapopulation. J Avian Biol 49:e01681. https://doi.org/10.1111/jav.01681.

The raw fas files from fragment length analysis were processed using the PeakScanner 2 software to get the genotypes.
, File according to the genepop file format, as created by GenAlEx 6.5.

File format uses the 2 digit code.

Missing loci coded as: 0000.
