Abstract

This dataset contains the data used in Ogolowa et al (2025). The study assessed the genetic structure and demographic history of the Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird, Pogoniulus bilineatus species complex. It found substantial genetic structuring across the range of the species with an earliest split that coincides with the arid corridor. Thus highlighting the arid corridor as an important biogeographical feature in avian diversification in Sub-Saharan Africa. The data includes raw fastq files generated via double-digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) from DNA samples of 183 individuals. The samples were collected across the geographic range of P. bilineatus, with representative samples from all seven currently recognized subspecies. It also contains the metadata of each sample that indicates the sample location, collection date, and coordinate information.
