Abstract

This dataset comprises whole-genome resequencing variant data and population genomic summary statistics for five species in the Formica rufa group wood ants, both non-admixed and admixed individuals (mostly one individual per population). The data were generated to investigate genomic patterns of divergence, diversity, and introgression in a young species group with ongoing hybridisation.

The dataset includes (i) a filtered variant call format (VCF) file for 93 individuals, (ii) a VCF file that includes an outgroup (Formica exsecta) used for phylogenetic and introgression analyses, (iii) an all-sites VCF containing both variant and invariant sites for population genetic analyses, (iv) a phased VCF for 73 non-admixed ingroup individuals plus the outgroup, and (v) analysis-specific input and output files including window-based summary statistics (nucleotide diversity π, divergence dxy, genetic differentiation FST, and introgression fd), per-gene phylogenetic trees and topology weights, neighbour-net distance matrix, NJ tree, and Dsuite/Fbranch introgression scores. Population recombination rate estimates (ρ) used in the manuscript were obtained from previous work and are not included in this deposit.

These data enable reproduction of analyses presented in the associated manuscript.
