Genetic structure and demographic history of the dung beetle Deltochilum guildingii (Scarabaeinae): implications for conservation of the Tropical Dry Forest in the Colombian caribbean

The data set includes 2,587 Neutral Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) for 60 individuals of Deltochilum guildingii sampled in six Tropical Dry Forest Fragments in Colombia.

The genomic data was obtained by approximately 200 ng of high-molecular-weight DNA digested with two restriction endonucleases enzymes (EcoRI and HpyCH4IV) following the dd-RadSeq library preparation of Peterson et al. (2012). DNA fragments were searched in a target range of 280 to 375 bp to obtain the genomic libraries. The DNA extraction and ddRadSeq protocol were carried out by the Australian Genomics Research Facility (AGRF).
