Detailed data for Pelobates cultripes from four locations in Western France

These data are linked to the article \"When Rensch meets Foster: Insular gigantism reduce sexual dimorphism in anurans\". In this study, we tested whether Rensch's rule can apply to the change in body size observed in insular contexts. Here are reported the data linked to our specific comparison of continental and insular populations of a widespread coastal amphibian (Pelobates cultripes), in Western France. In this dataset, for each site, we reported the date of capture, individuals' distance to the ocean (in m), the size of individuals (SVL: Snout Vent Length, in mm), their mass (in g), their Scaled Mass Index (SMI), and their sex (note that, in some sites, some individuals were not sexed, and were thus classified neither as males or females)., ,

本数据集关联于论文《当伦施遇见福斯特：岛屿巨化降低无尾两栖类的性二态性》（"When Rensch meets Foster: Insular gigantism reduce sexual dimorphism in anurans"）。本研究旨在验证伦施法则（Rensch's rule）是否适用于岛屿环境下观测到的体型变化。本次研究针对法国西部广泛分布的沿海两栖动物——西部锄足蟾（Pelobates cultripes）的大陆种群与岛屿种群开展了针对性比较，本数据集即收录了该比较相关的全部数据。本数据集包含各采样位点的如下信息：个体捕获日期、个体距海洋的距离（单位：米）、个体体型参数（吻肛长（Snout Vent Length，简称SVL），单位：毫米）、体重（单位：克）、缩放体重指数（Scaled Mass Index，简称SMI）以及性别。需说明的是，部分采样位点的部分个体未完成性别鉴定，因此既未被划归为雄性，也未被划归为雌性。
