Summary

These data were compiled to investigate the evolutionary history of Graham's beardtongue (Penstemon grahamii). Objective(s) of our study were to determine the evolutionary history of P. grahamii, including ancestral population sizes, the history of population divergences, and historical connectivity. In addition, we characterized population structure, genetic diversity summary statistics, and landscape factors influencing differentiation. These data represent anonymous loci sequenced from throughout the P. grahamii genome (specifically, .vcf and .structure files). Data in these files were manipulated to represent site frequency spectra between population pairs (.data files). These data were collected in 2019 from across the P. grahamii [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data is to understand genetic diversity and functional connectivity across the range of Graham's beardtongue (Penstemon grahamii) distributed across eastern Utah and western Colorado. The objectives of collecting the data were to 1) characterize range-wide patterns of genetic diversity, 2) characterize range-wide patterns of population genetic structure, 3) estimate historical migration rates and divergence times between populations, and 4) estimate effective population sizes. The archived data can be further used to explore questions regarding the evolutionary history of P. grahamii. A goal for this data dataset is that it could further help in understanding the number of conservation units for this species and inform conservation strategies to effectively manage them.
