The excel file has two spread-sheets: (i) "Microsatellites-4Areas" including the information of the 11 microsatellites used in the paper for the four different areas we investigated; (ii) "Microsatellites-30Populations" including the information of the 11 microsatellites used in the paper for the 30 different populations we investigated.In the two spread-sheets we include the following columns: "Number of individual" from 1 to 168; "Area" with the names of the areas or populations for every individual; "Sample Code" with the name of the sample used in the paper; "1Ple, 3Ple, 11Ple, 13Ple, 12Ple, 14Ple, 16Ple, 5Ple, 19Ple, 10Ple, and 2Ple" the name of each of the 11 microsatellites gentotyped in our study.In addition to that, we provide a small summary of the "Number of microsatellites", "Number of Individuals", "Number of Areas", "Number of Populations", and "N of individuals per area and population".
