Data for: The pace of mitochondrial molecular evolution varies with seasonal migration distance

This repository contains data associated with "The pace of mitochondrial molecular evolution varies with seasonal migration distance." This study demonstrates relationships between traits (migration distance, mass, population genetic parameters representing genetic diversity) and molecular evolutionary rates (dS and dN/dS). The main conclusions are based on models from the program Coevol. The files included here are input files necessary to run models with Coevol, as well as selected Coevol output files used for figure generation associated with the manuscript. We also include a copy of a GitHub repository of manuscript code. Other necessary data for replicating analyses in the manuscript are included in the manuscript supplement. 

Methods
Coevol input files include sequence data, phylogenetic tree files, and text files of traits. Detailed methods about the collection and processing of the dataset are included in the manuscript and in the folder of code ("migration-molecrates-main"). Briefly, mitochondrial gene sequences were generated from samples that we sequenced with low-coverage genome sequencing; phylogenetic trees are from birdtree.org; trait data include per-species body mass estimates from publicly available sources and migration distance estimates from species' range maps; and trait data also include population genetic parameters estimated using population-level datasets of mitochondrial gene sequences (not included here). All mitochondrial gene sequences, including those for population-level analyses, are available on GenBank as described in Table S2 of this manuscript's supplement section.
