data for functional group analyses
data of vouchered bees to test for differences between repeatedly sampled sites and single sample sites regarding abundance functional group composition. The four functional groups tested were diet (lecty), sociality, body size (size), and nesting substrate (nesting). Note that sociality was tested
Data from: Two low coverage bird genomes and a comparison of reference-guided versus de novo genome assemblies
As a greater number and diversity of high-quality vertebrate reference genomes become available, it is increasingly feasible to use these references to guide new draft assemblies for related species. Reference-guided assembly approaches may substantially increase the contiguity and completeness of a
Data from: Z chromosome divergence, polymorphism, and relative effective population size in a genus of lekking birds
Sex chromosomes contribute disproportionately to species boundaries as they diverge faster than autosomes and often have reduced diversity. Their hemizygous nature contributes to faster divergence and reduced diversity, as do some types of selection. In birds, other factors (mating system and bottle
21 MHC Class II DRB alleles from Microtus montanus
FASTA file of 21 MHC Class II Mimo-DRB alleles recovered from a wild population of montane vole (Microtus montanus). Samples were obtained between 2008-2010 near the Rocky Mountain biological Laboratory, located in the Upper East River Valley, CO (39N, 107W).

Reduction of pore area of the avian eggshell as an adaptation to altitude
Standard measurements of water vapor conductance in units of mg of H 2 O · day -1 · torr -1 (SI equivalent is mg of H 2 O · day -1 · pascal -1 ) of fresh eggs of the red-winged blackbird ( Agelaius phoeniceus ) and the native chicken of India ( Gallus gallus ) collected at altitude are significantly
Polymorphisms for hemoglobin and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the rodent genus, Peromyscus

Polymorphisms at regulatory loci: quantitative inheritance of hemoglobin phenotypes in the deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus
Aspects of circulatory physiology of montane and lowland birds
A comparison of blood values of American goldfinches during summer and winter in Michigan reveals an increase in blood characteristics of winter individuals similar in extent to that of winter pine siskins, raising the possibility that the blood parameters of high altitude birds reflect adjustments
