Valenzuela phylogenomic dataset from: Illumina whole genome sequencing indicates ploidy level differences within the Valenzuela flavidus (Psocodea: Psocomorpha: Caeciliusidae) species complex

This contains data for the manuscript: \"Illumina Whole Genome Sequencing indicates Ploidy Level Differences within the Valenzuela flavidus (Psocodea: Psocomorpha: Caeciliusidae) Species Complex\".

Valenzuela flavidus is a species of bark louse which is known to have asexual parthenogenetic populations in Europe but is believed to have sexual and asexual populations in North America as well. Historically, Valenzuela aurantiacus was the species epithet recognized for North American members until reports of asexual reproduction surfaced in certain North American populations. Cytogenetic studies have demonstrated European all-female populations are triploid. However, males are often reported in North America suggesting diploidy for sexual populations. With the use of Illumina whole genome sequencing, genetic diversity among North American and European populations was explored with phylogenomic methods. Ploidy level was estimated by examining allele frequencies of read-mapped homologous ge...
