Melitaea Diamina Genomic Data for Population Structure and Phylogenetic Analysis

Downstream genomic analysis data from a ddRADseq study of the false heath fritillary butterfly, Melitaea diamina. The 303.1 MB archive contains scripts, configuration files, and outputs for population structure, phylogenetic, and introgression analyses, supporting research on Iberian and Eurasian lineages. The data was authored by Loukia Spilani and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze population structure and lineage differentiation based on SNP data from ddRADseq assemblies.
• Investigate phylogenetic relationships and reticulation based on outputs from IQ-TREE and PhyloNetworks analyses.
• Evaluate historical introgression and allele-sharing asymmetries based on Dsuite ABBA-BABA outputs.
• Reproduce non-model-based population analyses like PCA and DAPC based on the provided custom R scripts.

Strengths

• Dataset is 303.1 MB in size, containing multiple analysis outputs and scripts.
• Data is associated with a specific NCBI BioProject (PRJNA1337706) for raw sequence reads.
• Archive is organized into distinct functional components (e.g., STRUCTURE, iqtree, Dsuite).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data focuses on populations from the southern edge of the species' European range, which may reflect a geographic bias.
