Abstract

This dataset was used to examine the phylogeographic genetic structure of an iconic species, the pignosed turtle Carettochelys insculpta, the last remaining member of a once globally widespread family, now restricted to a region with a dynamic and complex geological and geographical history – the Australo-Papuan region. It comprises aligned sequences of mtDNA data (Nd4 and Control Region) and SNP data used for population genetics and phylogenetic reconstruction.
