Summary

These data were compiled to investigate the evolutionary history of Hilaria jamesii, Hilaria mutica, and Hilaria rigida. The data release consists of two tab delimited text files that may be used to infer population structure (viva_structure.stru) or relationships among sampling localities (viva.phylip). Files record genetic variation on an individual (.stru) or sampling locality (.phylip) level. These files may be opened and edited in a text editor program, such as Notepad ++ (PC) or BBEdit (Mac). The .phylip file can be uploaded to phyML or SVDQuartets to generate a tree-based visualization of relationships ( http://www.atgc-montpellier.fr/phyml/ or https://paup.phylosolutions.com, repectively). The .stru file can be used in the [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to describe the population structure and interspecific relationships among Hilaria jamesii, Hilaria mutica, and Hilaria rigida. With knowledge of these patterns, we investigated hybridization between Hilaria jamesii and Hilaria mutica and within the Hilaria jamesii 'Viva' native plant restoration material. The datasets archived herein can be used to further investigate the evolutionary history of these three species, or they may be used to reconfirm the patterns reported in the Larger Work Citation (Winkler & Massatti 2020). Ultimately, these data can be used to inform restoration management decisions regarding seed transfer guidelines and native plant materials development.
