Vortex Model Output: Genetic Data for Threatened Species Translocation Simulations

5.4 MB of Vortex population model files and R objects containing allele frequency and persistence probability data for simulated populations. The dataset includes an XML population model, RDS files with raw genetic output, and a TXT file of initial allele frequencies. Xenia Muenger authored this dataset, which was last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Simulating genetic drift and founder allele persistence in translocated populations based on the provided allele frequency data.
• Calibrating population viability analysis (PVA) models using the raw genetic output from the Vortex simulations.
• Analyzing the impact of selection on neutral genes in small, managed populations as described in the model files.

Strengths

• Includes the complete Vortex model configuration in XML format for reproducibility.
• Provides both raw simulation output and the initial allele frequencies used to seed the model.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse and modification.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
