Data from: Wolbachia infection and dramatic intraspecific mitochondrial DNA divergence in a fig wasp

Mitochondria and Wolbachia are maternally inherited genomes that exhibit
strong linkage disequilibrium in many organisms. We surveyed Wolbachia
infections in 187 specimens of the fig wasp species, Ceratosolen solmsi,
and found an infection prevalence of 89.3%. DNA Sequencing of 20
individuals each from Wolbachia-infected and uninfected sub-populations
revealed extreme mtDNA divergence (up to 9.2% and 15.3% in CO1 and
cytochrome b, respectively) between infected and uninfected wasps.
Further, mtDNA diversity was significantly reduced within the infected
group. Our sequencing of a large part of the mitochondrial genome from
both Wolbachia-infected and uninfected individuals revealed that high
sequence divergence is common throughout the mitochondrial genome. These
patterns suggest a partial selective sweep of mitochondria subsequent to
the introduction of Wolbachia into C. solsmi, by hybrid introgression from
a related species.
