Sample collection information and microsatellite data for Northern Black Swifts in 6 colonies across Colorado, New Mexico and Idaho
September 6, 2023
This dataset contains sample collection information and microsatellite genotype data for Northern Black Swifts in 6 colonies across Colorado, New Mexico and Idaho. This data was collected to examine levels of genetic diversity and connectivity among Black Swift colonies and also to assess parentage at a subset of those sites. This study helps clarify the breeding system of the Black Swift and is the first study to determine parentage of a subset of offspring using molecular methods.
