CladeBrownFrogsRawSeqs: Sequences for the Brown Frog dataset

Description

Dataset of all known taxa of the "western" and "eastern" lineage of the Near Eastern brown frogs (Rana macrocnemis macrocnemis, R. m. camerani, R. holtzi, R. m. pseudodalmatina, R. m. tavasensis, Amphibia, Ranidae, R. m. tavasensis, Amphibia, Ranidae) for the exploration of deeper phylogeographic patterns. Contains the 16S ribosomal mtDNA sequences (n=19) listed in the Appendix II of Veith et al (2003). It is called using data(CladeBrownFrogsRawSeqs).

Usage

data(CladeBrownFrogsRawSeqs)

Format

In total 40 sampling locations throughout the Near Eastern (Turkey, Georgia, Daghestan, Northern Iran) with 21 (19 + 2) haplotypes of length 536.
