Mesocoms investigation of seaweed fragment degradation and skinking rates
<p>This dataset provides the results of a 35 day investigation of macroalgal fragment degradation and sinking rates, that took place in late summer and autumn of 2017, in Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK. Specimens were collected by hand, from the shore at Rame Head (50°18' 41.9″ N 4°13' 15.9″ W). Sinking rates were estimated in a stationary seawater column in the laboratory, and are provided against fragment weight for 3 species of macroalgae, at the beginning and end of incubations. Experimental conditions are described.</p>

Figure 1 in Phylogenetic placement of a recently discovered population of the threatened alpine she-oak skink Cyclodomorphus praealtus (Squamata: Scincidae) in Victoria
Figure 1: Elevation map of the mainland Australian alpine region indicating the five major populations of Cyclodomorphus praealtus, including the new location of Wellington Plains. Elevation is indicated by light, mid and dark grey areas at 500 m intervals, with highest elevations at or above 1500 m above sea level. Adapted from fig. 1; Koumoundouros et al. (2009).
Figure 3 in Phylogenetic placement of a recently discovered population of the threatened alpine she-oak skink Cyclodomorphus praealtus (Squamata: Scincidae) in Victoria
Figure 3: Population structure of Victorian Cyclodomorphus praealtus according to ND4 mitochondrial haplotype network. Black indicates individuals from Lankey Plain, dark grey indicates those from Mt Hotham, white indicates those from Bogong High Plains and diagonal stripes indicate those from Wellington Plains. The network structure indicates 3 haplogroups (i, ii and iii) within Victoria. Each circle represents a unique haplotype, with the circle size indicative of frequency and sample sizes within each circle. Empty circles represent missing haplotypes and differ by one base pair from the closest haplotype.

Figure 2: A Bayesian consensus tree of the mtDNA ND4 sequences, depicting the relationship between unique haplotypes at each locality (Bogong High Plains, Lankey Plain, Mt Hotham, Wellington Plains and Kosciuszko National Park) for Cyclodomorphus praealtus. Bayesian posterior probabilities are shown at major nodes.
