Alpine Tree Frog SNP Data from Victoria 2018 and New South Wales 2024

Alexander Wendt published raw DArTseq SNP genotype data and metadata for the Alpine Tree Frog (Litoria verreauxii alpina) on figshare in 2026. The dataset includes Victorian populations from a 2018 mark-recapture study and New South Wales populations from 2024 single-visit surveys. Associated metadata contains individual sample ID, population assignment, sex, and maturity status.

Use Cases

• Analyzing population structure and genetic differentiation based on SNP genotype data.
• Investigating sex or maturity-related genetic patterns using the provided metadata fields.
• Conducting conservation genomic assessments for a vulnerable amphibian species.
• Comparing genetic data from different sampling methodologies (mark-recapture vs. single-visit surveys).

Strengths

• Data includes samples from two distinct Australian states collected in 2018 and 2024.
• Metadata provides four key fields: individual ID, population, sex, and maturity status.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Precise geographic coordinates are excluded to protect sensitive species locations.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation for the SNP genotype file is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
