| Summary: | Fragmented landscapes may have implications for the genetic structure of populations and for the microevolution of plant species. In particular, landscape fragmentation and/or population isolation might affect the evolution of plant mating systems. Here, we study the consequences of landscape fragmentation on the genetic structure of populations of a perennial herb, Vincetoxicum hirundinaria with a mixed mating system. Our study area, the south-western Finnish archipelago, was formed after the glacial ice sheet started to retreat 12 000 years ago. Due to the isostatic land uplift following the glacial retreat, suitable habitats have been formed gradually, and as a consequence, populations of V. hirundinaria differ in age, size and their degree of isolation in the area. We hypothesized that a mixed-mating system has been selected for in these populations due to the advantage of self-fertilization in newly colonized areas and the advantage of outcrossing in adaptation to heterogeneous environments. To test ... : The data file Muola_offspring_genotypes.txt contains allele sizes of 13 microsatellite loci across all successfully analysed Vincetoxicum hirundinaria offspring sampled from mother plants from 13 populations in the South-Western Finnish Archipelago. For the laboratory methods, see the main paper and the associated Supporting information S1. The data file contains the data after quality check using INEST and MLTR, i.e. after removal of specific seed families, of complete loci and of loci for specific seed families (see the main paper, first paragraph of the Methods section “Mating system analysis”), leaving 1255 samples. The data file Muola_mother_genotypes.txt contains the genotypes of 153 mother plants inferred from the offspring genotypes in the data file Muola_offspring_genotypes.txt. ... |
