February 13, 2018

The data are included in 8 separate text files:
1) "Sample_coordinates.txt". The file contains sample identifiers along with geographic coordinates associated with each sample. Coordinates are specified as UTM Zone 10 values (WGS84).
2) "Sample_genotypes.txt". The file contains a sample identifier along with microsatellite genotypes associated with each sample.
3) "uniform_conductances.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls.
4) "1870_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in the 1870's.
5) "1940_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in the 1840's.
6) "1986_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 1986.
7) "1994_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 1994.
8) "2012_conductance.asc". An ASCII text-based representation of a map containing idealized habitat for Northern Spotted Owls in 2012.
