Data for the work "Experimental crossbreeding reveals early stages of speciation in Akodon cursor (Rodentia, Cricetidae)"

When our project began, with the first individuals captured in 2011, our goal was to answer whether Akodon cursor represents one or two species in light of the Biological Species Concept. We were then influenced primarily by current knowledge about the two main mitochondrial clades recovered within the species with high statistical support, and also by the 28 karyotypes recognized at the time.

Years later, we gathered a massive amount of data, including intra- and interpopulation crosses between individuals collected in three different Brazilian states, organizing the breeding pairs considering their genetic background (at the chromosomal and molecular level) and also their geographic origin. Here we present the crosses analyzed in this work and also the suplementary material. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 1: Analysis of Reproductive Success of Referential Intrapopulation Crosses through Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed model.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 2: Analysis of Reproductive Success of Crosses involving PE16 and ES14 through Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed model.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 3: Pairwise comparisons of LS outcomes among groups involving PE16 and ES14 as maternal lineages.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 4: Analysis of Reproductive Success of Crosses involving BA14 and ES14 through Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed model.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 5: Pairwise comparisons of LS outcomes among groups involving BA14 and ES14 as maternal lineages.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 6: Analysis of Reproductive Success of Crosses involving PE16 and BA14-16 through Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed model.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 7: Analysis of Reproductive Success of Crosses involving BA14 and BA16 through Bayesian Generalized Linear Mixed model.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL 8: Experimental crosses used in this study.
