We collected tissue samples from 1126 Elacatinus lori individuals at 39 locations across the Belize barrier reef for population genetic analyses. We marked the location of each collection site with a Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx unit. Individuals were caught with slurp guns and we took a small clip from the caudal fin using scissors. All tissue samples were store in 95% EtOH. Genetic data were collected based on standard DNA extractions and a targeted amplicon sequencing approach. Details on all methods can be found in D\u2019Aloia et al. (2017), Conservation Genetics.
Mitochondiral\u00a0DNA cytochrome b and radloci genotype identification data from fish sampled in the Belizean Barrier Reef in 2014. Each of the 59 loci appear\u00a0in two separate\u00a0columns for each allele except for the\u00a0mitochondrial\u00a0DNA, which only appears in one column because there is only one allele at the locus.
To generate the two genotype files, we used a custom Perl script that was specifically developed to run on Cornell University\u2019s servers. All script details and filtering steps are described in detail in D\u2019Aloia et al. 2017, Conservation Genetics. Missing data from genotype columns is denoted by 0.
