title: Data from: Genetic diversity, population structure and sex-biased dispersal in three co-evolving species

description: Genetic diversity and spatial structure of populations are important for
 antagonistic coevolution. We investigated genetic variation and population
 structure of three closely related European ant species: the social
 parasite Harpagoxenus sublaevis and its two host species Leptothorax
 acervorum and Leptothorax muscorum. We sampled populations in 12 countries
 and analyzed eight microsatellite loci and an mtDNA sequence. We found
 high levels of genetic variation in all three species, only slightly less
 variation in the host L. muscorum. Using a newly introduced measure of
 differentiation (Jost's DEST), we detected strong population
 structuring in all species and less male-biased dispersal than previously
 thought. We found no phylogeographic patterns that could give information
 on post-glacial colonization routes - northern populations are as variable
 as more southern populations. We conclude that conditions for
 Thompson's geographic mosaic of coevolution are ideal in this system:
 all three species show ample genetic variation and strong population
 structure.
