Abstract

The dataset comprises raw reads of ddRADseq libraries prepared for paired-end sequencing (2 x 150bp) and the final SNP dataset (5237 loci, 345 individuals) of Ariagona margaritae collected between 2009 and 2024 on Tenerife, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The final SNP was published as a .stru file. All raw reads from SNP sequencing were also published as fastq.gz files. Barcodes can be found in SuppTab. 7 of the associated article. A picture of a female adult of A. margaritae was published as a jpg. Furthermore, we included the coordinates as a .shp file in the same resolution as they were already published in SuppTab. 2 of the associated article. We also included all important polygons or points used to identify Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) based on the metrics: (ii) Area of occupancy (AOO), (iii) Extent of suitable habitat (ESH), (iv) Range, and (v) Locality. AOO, localities and the range were deposited as .shp files. The habitat model was deposited instead of the extent of suitable habitat, as ESH is easy to create by subtracting the range from the suitable habitat. It was also deposited as a .shp file. The structure cluster proportion in each potential KBA was deposited as a .shp file, so the Example Code in the Supplements of the associated article can be executed. The file contains polygons for each potential KBA and means of STRUCTURE cluster proportions across individuals sampled at each potential KBA. As already stated in the associated article we have organised the necessary permissions to collect data on the Canary islands. There were no ethics considerations necessary.
