Lion FIV Data
Metadata associated for 'pride or density' (Tab 1), within pride (Tab 2) and between pride (Tabs 3-12) analyses. Associated sequence data can be found on GenBank (accession numbers AY549217-537 AY549304, AY552614 to AY552683, and AY552684 - AY552748, and AY878208 - AY878235). "Ple numbers" attached to sequence data match to the first column of Tab 1. Please see README for information about each tab.
