Genome size variation in Cape schoenoid sedges (Schoeneae) and its ecophysiological consequences

Raw data for article 'Genome size variation in Cape schoenoid sedges (Schoeneae) and its ecophysiological consequences' in American Journal of Botany 2024

This repository contains:

• a README file,
• 2 CSV files, `specimen_data.csv` and `species_data.csv`, providing the trait data used in this study, and
• 4 FASTA files, providing the aligned DNA sequence data used for this study's phylogeny reconstruction, and
• 1 tree file, `subset_reconstruction_MCC.tre`, representing the maximum clade credibility tree following the 'subset' phylogeny reconstruction (see methods text; presented in Figure S1 of the article's online supporting information).

Naming conventions for the tips in the FASTA files and tree file follow that in Table S3 of the article's online supporting information.

The sequences data in the FASTA files were used in 'BEAST' to reconstruct the phylogeny presented in `subset_reconstruction_MCC.tre`. This tree was then used for phylogenetic comparative analyses of the trait data in `species_data.csv` (which is derived from the trait data in `specimen_data.csv`).

See the README file and methods section of the paper for further details.
