Title:Temperature datasets for stock tanks and natural sites at High, Medium, and Low elevations, as part of the LTREB Swordtail project in Hidalgo, Mexico, 2015 - 2025
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

The core of this project focuses on monitoring the phenotypic and genotypic evolution of experimental and natural hybrid populations of swordtails for ten generations. To get a clear understanding of how evolution shapes genome wide ancestry and the distribution of species-specific alleles at functional loci during early generations of hybridization, it's important to monitor these populations using experimental crosses. Eight replicate 2000 L mesocosm stock tanks were built at high (1514 m), intermediate (980 m), and low (186 m) elevations near the CICHAZ field site were seeded with Xiphophorus birchmanni – X. malinche F1 hybrids.

The F1s were generated by crossing X. malinche females with X. birchmanni malesin stock tanks at CICHAZ, a research station in Calnali, Mexico. Tanks at higher elevations experience cooler water temperatures. Our experimental design thereby allows us to characterize how ecological selection shapes genotypic and phenotypic differences in thermal tolerance across hybrid populations exposed to different temperature regimes.

The data contained in these files include recorded water temperature (in Celsius), taken every six hours from three stock tanks at low (186 m: STL), medium (980 m: STM), and high (1514 m: STH) elevations, along with three natural river sites. File Natural.csv contains the natural sites and the file Stock Tanks.csv contains the corresponding natural sites. Acuapa (ACUA) is paired with STL, Aguazarca (AGZC) is paired with STM, and Tlatemaco (TLMC) is paired with STH.

Methods and Protocols

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Instrument

All data was collected with a HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light 64k Data Logger. The data loggers were kept in a pvc tube and placed within the stock tanks, and at the natural sites the loggers were similarly kept in a pvc tube and chained to a rock in the water. The loggers were retrieved/data was downloaded every.

The following lists the start, and if applicable, end dates for data collection at each site:

The low and high elevation stock tanks began in October, 2014 and are ongoing. The mid elevation stock tank began in August, 2015 and is ongoing.

The natural lowland site (ACUA) began in October of 2014 and concluded in May of 2018. Currently there are plans to reinstate data recording at this site, but has not been done at this time. The natural midland (AGZC) and highland (TLMC) sites began in October of 2014 and are ongoing.
