Data from: Multiple reproductive barriers separate recently diverged sunflower ecotypes

Measuring reproductive barriers between groups of organisms is an effective way to determine the traits and mechanisms that impede gene flow. However, to understand the ecological and evolutionary factors that drive speciation, it is important to distinguish between the barriers that arise early in the speciation process and those that arise after speciation is largely complete. In this paper we comprehensively test for reproductive isolation between recently diverged (< 10,000 years bp) dune and non-dune ecotypes of the prairie sunflower, Helianthus petiolaris. We find reproductive barriers acting at multiple stages of hybridization, including premating, postmating-prezygotic, and postzygotic barriers, despite the recent divergence. Barriers include extrinsic selection against immigrants and hybrids, a shift in pollinator assemblage, and post-pollination assortative mating. Together these data suggest that multiple barriers can be important for reducing gene flow in the earliest stages of speciation.2012_RT_PlotsThe number of seedlings that emerged and survived in each subplot of our 2012 reciprocal transplant in which we planted dune, non-dune and hybrid seeds into a site in the dunes and a site in the non-dune habitat (sand sheet) at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.2012_RT_Plants_fullData (height, day to first flower, number of seeds, etc) for each plant that survived in our 2012 reciprocal transplant2012_RT_AsterData (emergence, survival, number of flowers, number of seeds) for each seed planted in our 2012 reciprocal transplant formatted for an ASTER analysis2012_RT_FT_survivalThe period during which each plant that survived in our 2012 reciprocal transplant flowered (formatted for a survival analysis)2012_Timelapse_FT_numbersThe number of flowers photographed by 8 timelapse cameras (DG4, DG5, Updune, 1363, 2001, NDG2, NDG3, NDG4) each day. Cameras DG4 and DG5 were in the same site, which is called DRT. Cameras NDG2, NDG3 and NDG4 were in the same site, which is called NRT.
