Description
This dataset contains 80 SNP loci from 15 locations with 25-47 samples per locations. Each column contains data from two alleles. All genotyped samples are included. Prior to population genetic analysis clone mates were identified and removed.

Research Activity Title
Resilience of seagrasses in tropical systems exposed to human impacts
Research Activity Description
The ability of marine communities to withstand and recover from natural disturbance and human impacts, defined as resilience, is dependent on the genetic diversity of, and migration among populations. Understanding these factors in marine species like seagrasses is essential for effective conservation and management, yet our understanding is generally poor. This project will examine genetic diversity and connectivity of two significant marine seagrass species across the NW of WA, an environment exposed to extreme events and with significant human development. This information will inform the spatial planning and management of marine parks and large-scale developments in this region, and internationally. The focal species are Halophila ovalis and Halodule uninervis.
Methodology
Samples collected in the field, then DNA extracted and SNP developed for MassArray ® and analysed on the Typer v4.0 analysis software. The SNP’s were generated through a reduced-representation library using a ddRAD approach (double digest Restriction-site Associated DNA).
