Data from: Parasitic wasps do not lack lipogenesis

The MS Excel data file contains the results of chemical analyses of lipid extracts from 13 parasitoid species by coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Data include peak areas of diagnostic ions from two fatty acid methyl esters to calculate relative incorporation rates. Extracted ion chromatograms of m/z 90 and m/z 87 were manually integrated at the retention times of palmitic acid methyl ester and stearic acid methyl ester. Resulting peak areas of m/z 90 were related to the summed peak areas of m/z 90 + m/z 87 and relative incorporation rates were calculated (%). Furthermore, peak areas (total ion current) of the six most abundant fatty acid methyl esters were related to an internal standard to calculate the fatty acid contents of lipid extracts and isolated triacylglyceride fractions.
