title: Data from: Similar evolutionary potentials in an obligate ant parasite and its two host species

description: PLEASE NOTE: an additional file will be added to this data package: R
 script to calculate D and Gst for mtDNA (from a fasta file) and the
 associated p-values. It is also available here: . ABSTRACT: The spatial
 structure of host-parasite coevolution is shaped by population structure
 and genetic diversity of the interacting species. We analyzed these
 population genetic parameters in three related ant species: the parasitic
 slavemaking ant Protomognathus americanus and its two host species
 Temnothorax longispinosus and T. curvispinosus. We sampled throughout
 their range, genotyped ants on six to eight microsatellite loci and an
 MtDNA sequence and found high levels of genetic variation and strong
 population structure in all three species. Interestingly, the most
 abundant species and primary host, T. longispinosus, is characterized by
 less structure, but lower local genetic diversity. Generally, differences
 between the species were small, and we conclude that they have similar
 evolutionary potentials. The coevolutionary interaction between this
 social parasite and its hosts may therefore be less influenced by
 divergent evolutionary potentials, but rather by varying selection
 pressures. We employed different methods to quantify and compare genetic
 diversity and structure between species and genetic markers. We found that
 Jost D is well suited for these comparisons, as long as mutation rates
 between markers and species are similar. If this is not the case, for
 example, when using MtDNA and microsatellites to study sex-specific
 dispersal, model-based inference should be used instead of descriptive
 statistics (such as D or GST). Using coalescent-based methods, we indeed
 found that males disperse much more than females, but this sex bias in
 dispersal differed between species. The findings of the different
 approaches with regard to genetic diversity and structure were in good
 accordance with each other.
