Description:
Data used to generate figure 2B from the cited paper. Sequence diversity (?) was averaged across 14 species (A. punctatus, C. occipitalis, C. penicillatus, G. agassizii, H. selenopoides, H. theologus, L. trivirgata, O. canadensis, P. longimembris, P. gilberti, S. magister, U. scoparia, X. vigilis, and X. mohavensis). The remaining three species in our dataset (C. bicinctores, D. dorsalis, and T. bottae) were excluded from diversity analyses because only single individuals were sampled at disparate locations that could not be combined. The average sequence diversity landscape covered 87,982 km2 when clipped to include three or more species (Figure 2B).

I conduct research related to the conservation of desert tortoises and other species in desert ecosystems in the Southwest. Much of my work occurs on a broad spectrum of federal lands managed by the DOD, BLM, USFWS, and NPS. Primary research topics relating to tortoises include responses to...
