Dataset to the article "An exploration of the hidden endosymbionts of Corbicula in the native range"

This dataset contains a description of materials and metods, as well as figures and table for the article entitled " An exploration of the hidden endosymbionts of Corbicula in the native range", which is accepted for publication in Ecology (The Scientific Naturalist). In this paper, we report on the discovery of multiple endosymbionts of the mantle cavity and soft organs of Corbicula clams from Laos and Thailand.

The dataset's files are as follows:
