Global Patterns of Population Genetic Differentiation in 337 Seed Plant Species

A dataset of 337 seed plant species assembled from publications, containing genetic differentiation (F ST) values from nuclear markers and associated species traits. The data was compiled by Diana Gamba at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for phylogenetic multiple regression analysis. It includes variables pertaining to species traits and the sampling scheme of each study.

Use Cases

• Modeling the drivers of population genetic structure based on species traits like pollination mode and mating system.
• Analyzing the relative importance of latitudinal region versus growth form on genetic differentiation.
• Testing hypotheses about the relationship between seed dispersal mode and F ST values across a broad taxonomic scale.
• Performing phylogenetic comparative analyses on genetic differentiation data.

Strengths

• Includes data for 337 seed plant species, providing a broad taxonomic scale.
• Integrates genetic F ST values with multiple species traits and sampling variables.
• Uses phylogenetic multiple regressions to account for evolutionary relationships.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect publication bias inherent to the paperswithcode platform.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
