Description
Summary:The stored data were used in a study by Rönkä et al. (2021). See full citation in Usage notes. Here is the abstract of Rönkä et al. (2021). Background: Populations living in fragmented habitats may suffer from loss of genetic variation and reduced between-patch dispersal, which are processes that can result in genetic differentiation. This occurs frequently in species with reduced mobility, whereas genetic differentiation is less common among mobile species such as migratory birds. The high dispersal capacity in the latter species usually allows for gene flow even in fragmented landscapes. However, strongly philopatric behaviour can reinforce relative isolation and the degree of genetic differentiation. The Southern Dunlin (Calidris alpina schinzii) is a philopatric, long-distance migratory shorebird and shows reduced dispersal between isolated breeding patches. The endangered population of the Southern Dunlin breeding at the Baltic Sea has suffered from habitat deterioration and fragmentation of coastal ... : The data include samples from 8 different breeding populations of the southern dunlin across the Baltic Sea (1. Finland, Bothnian Bay; 2. Finland, Pori; 3. Finland, Jurmo; 4. Estonia; 5. Denmark; 6. Western Sweden; 7. Eastern Sweden and 8. Southern Sweden). Samples were collected during the breeding season during years (1997–2016). DNA was extracted and 12 microsatellites were amplified. These markers included (Ruff1, Ruff6, Pgt83, Cme1, Cme2, Cme6, Calp2, CAS009877, CAS011379, CAS012162, CAS023374, CAS026519). ...
