Ancient demographic history explains mitochondrial genome capture and mitonuclear discordance among South American collared Tropidurus lizards

REPOSITORY STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THE ARTICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN SUBMITTED

Here we provide the datasets, input and output files used and/or produced during the realization of the work “Ancient demographic history explains mitochondrial genome capture and mitonuclear discordance among South American collared Tropidurus lizards”. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary causes of a clear case of mitonuclear discordance in the Tropidurus spinulosus species complex, a group of lizards inhabiting open tropical and subtropical environments in South America. We analyzed mitochondrial genomes and nuclear ultraconserved elements (UCEs) sequences, and thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from UCEs across different species within the group.
