Alpine Tree Frog Reproductive Output and Mating Patterns with Genetic Data

R code, raw data, and input files for analyzing reproductive output, parentage, and mating patterns in wild populations of the alpine tree frog (Litoria verreauxii alpina). The materials support analyses of genetic monogamy, reproductive skew, and breeding success variation among individuals and egg masses. The dataset, authored by Alexander Wendt and last updated in April 2026, is provided to ensure transparency and reproducibility for the associated study.

Use Cases

• Analyzing evidence of monogamy or multiple mating based on parentage-analysis input and output files.
• Quantifying reproductive contributions and skew among adults based on reproductive and clutch-level data.
• Investigating variation in breeding success across sampled populations using SNP-filtered genotype files and sample metadata.
• Reproducing statistical analyses and visualizations for a study on genetic monogamy using the provided R scripts.

Strengths

• Includes raw data, analysis code, and input files for full reproducibility of the study.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.
• Files and directory structure are retained to reflect the original analytical workflow.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file sizes are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific field study.
