Genetic diversity parameters have been calculated for several species using molecular markers (Micorsatellites). The aim is to identify patterns of genetic diversity and answer if those are correlated to either species diversity and/or topographic parameters. Data where taken from existing, already published and unpublished studies. Samples where collected from the CSPs in the GNNR from 2008 to 2010. Species include Castanopsis eyrei, Castanopsis fargesii, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Ardisia crenata, Daphniphyllum oldhamii, Lithocarpus glaber, Quercus serrata, Syzygium buxifolium, Vaccinium carlesii, Schima superba and Rhododendron simsii.

Castanopsis eyrei, Castanopsis fargesii, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Ardisia crenata, Daphniphyllum oldhamii,Lithocarpus glaber, Quercus serrata, Syzygium buxifolium, Vaccinium carlesii, Schima superba with at least 3 individuals per sampled CSP.

All 27 CSPs have been sampled with varying degrees of sampling density per species. Additionally, for Rhododendron simsii 50 individuals of a non- CSP population are available (not included in this data set)

samples have been collected between 2009 and 2012

individuals of 11 tree and shrub species

C. eyrei, D. oldhamii, L. glaber, Q. serrata, S. superba include loci potentially under positive selection.

Leaf samples have been dried for transport and genomic DNA has been extracted using QIAGEN Plant 96 Kits. Specific microsatellite markers have been either developed newly or used from published studies (see publication for details). Multiplex PCR were run on Eppendorf cyclers and PCR fragments have been detected on an ABI 3130 capillary sequencer. Fragments binning and scoring were carried out in the Genemapper Software. Loci have been checked for Nullalleles using the Microchecker software which also provided adjusted genotypes. These adjusted genotypes have been used to check for candidate loci under positive selection (loci not behaving neutrally) with the lositan detection workbench. Loci under positive selection have been removed from further analysis. GenAlEx (Genetic Analysis in Excel) software was used to compute F statistics and PCoA for individuals and CSPs. The Fstat software was finally used to calculate allelic richness for all species.
