Microbial composition of quill mites (Acariformes: Syringophilidae) from Namibian birds. Syringophilopsis

This file contains the results of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing aimed at investigating the microbial associations in Namibian quill mite species (Acariformes: Syringophilidae), i.e. Syringophilopsis erythrochlamys sp. n. from the dune lark Calendulauda erythrochlamys (Strickland, HE); S. christinae sp. n. from the karoo long-billed lark Certhilauda subcoronata Smith, and spike-heeled lark Chersomanes albofasciata (de Lafresnaye, NFAA); and for S. acrocephali Skoracki, 1999 from the African reed-warbler Acrocephalus baeticatus (Vieillot, LJP).
