Hamster Phylogeny Morphological Matrix for Total-Evidence Analysis

A morphological character matrix used for total-evidence phylogenetic analyses of hamsters. The Nexus file was authored by Moritz Dirnberger and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare in May 2026. The dataset is 23.8 KB in size.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing evolutionary relationships among hamster species based on morphological characters.
• Performing total-evidence phylogenetic analyses by combining this morphological data with molecular sequences.
• Testing hypotheses about crown group radiation and biogeographical history mentioned in the associated study.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• The file is small (23.8 KB), ensuring quick download and easy inspection.

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, making suitability for specific analyses difficult to assess.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the Nexus file after download.
