Description:
Genetic distance matrix of four species, the Side-blotched lizard (UTST), the Western fence lizard (SCOC), the Western skink (EUSK), and the Wrentit (WREN), across the Southern California Study area.
Processing & Workflow:
Data was compiled using microsatellite data for each species and differences between these markers across a spatially-explicit landscape were modeled using measures of Euclidean distance as well as environmental data (climate, elevation, and vegetation indices) to determine how much genetic variation is explained by each.
Access & Sharing:
To be posted as files (one for each species) on the California Commons in ASCII and GeoTIFF format.
