Morphometric, Acoustic, and Genetic Data for a New Brazilian Tree Frog Species

52.5 MB of primary data supporting the description of Dendropsophus liliae, a new tree frog species from Brazil's Atlantic Forest. The dataset, authored by Diego Santana and last updated in April 2026, includes morphometric measurements, acoustic recordings, and mitochondrial DNA sequences. This data is sufficient to reproduce the species diagnosis, acoustic characterization, and phylogenetic inference presented in the associated scientific manuscript.

Use Cases

• Conducting species delimitation and diagnosis based on the provided morphometric data of examined specimens.
• Analyzing frog vocalizations and call characteristics using the original .wav acoustic recordings.
• Performing phylogenetic placement and genetic distance calculations with the included mitochondrial 16S DNA sequences.
• Reproducing the taxonomic findings of the associated publication using the combined morphological, acoustic, and genetic evidence.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly sufficient to reproduce the main results of the associated scientific publication, including diagnosis and phylogenetic inference.
• Includes multiple data modalities: morphometrics, audio recordings (.wav), and genetic sequences (FASTA).
• Genetic sequences are also deposited in GenBank under accession numbers PZ305670–PZ305671, providing a verifiable public record.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic bias, being limited to specimens from the Serra da Mantiqueira in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
