Microsatellite and SNP datasets of the Critically Endangered Swift Parrot (Lathamus discolor)

GenAlEx data file of 3761 SNPs for 781 individuals of Swift Parrot Lathamus discolor.

The SNP data file follows the structure of GenAlEx input file. Columns indicate:

• SNP_ID: individual ID of the specimens genotyped in this project, based on SNPs
• microsat_ID: individual ID of the specimens genotyped in a previous project (Olah et al., 2021), based on microsatellites
• microsat_YN: whether the sample was genotyped based on the microsatellite study (Olah et al., 2021)
• Lat: latitude of the sample location
• Long: longitude of the sample location
• Pop: a priori assigned population name
• age: whether the sample is from adult or chick
• year: sampling year
• sex: whether the individual is male (M) or female (F)

The microsatellite data file follows the structure of GenAlEx input file. Columns indicate:

• Pop: a priori assigned population name
• UTM Easting of the sample location
• UTM Northing of the sample location
• SNP_ID: individual ID of the specimens genotyped in this project, based on SNPs
• microsat_ID: individual ID of the specimens genotyped in a previous project (Olah et al., 2021), based on microsatellites
• Season: sampling season
• Date Samples: exact date when the sample was collected
• Age: whether the sample is from adult or chick
