Mimosa catherinensis SNP data sets

<p>To inform management strategies for conservation of <i>Mimosa catharinensis </i>– a narrow endemic, critically endangered plant species – we identified 1,497 unlinked SNP markers derived from a reduced representation sequencing method (i.e., ddRADseq). This set of molecular markers was employed to assess intrapopulation genetic parameters and the demographic history of one extremely small population of <i>M. catharinensis </i>located in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We observed a moderate level of genetic diversity for <i>M. catharinensis</i>. Interestingly, <i>M. catharinensis</i>, which is a lianescent shrub with no indication of seed production for at least two decades, presented high levels of outcrossing and no evidence of inbreeding. However, the reconstruction of demographic history of <i>M. catharinensis</i> indicate that the population should be suffered a recent bottleneck.</p>
