Morphological data from wild and lab-reared threespine sticklebacks from Icelandic geothermal and ambient sites

https://doi.org/10.5285/a566fc20-a371-42a2-8530-9a3cade09261 Cite this dataset
The data contain measurements of the morphological shape of threespine stickleback from wild, F1 (filial generation 1) lab-reared, and F2-lab (filial generation 2) reared individuals. These last two groups were bred and reared from eggs in the lab. The files are in tps format and so within these contain the information regarding the population, rearing temperature, and scale factor for each specimen. The populations used are coded in a short form format but we also provide a key to decipher these names in csv format. Photos are also made available with corresponding tps files for F2 hybrid fish.

Provenance & quality

Data are derived from wild-caught fish and their F1 and F2 lineages. The wild fish were photographed and landmarks were collected manually using the software tpsDig2. The tps format is open, and is standard within morphometrics and used within a number of packages.

All landmarks have been checked for consistency across samples.
