Abstract
Brueelia Data Host-specificity Lice Macroevolution Phylogenetic reconstruction Songbirds
Data is presented in support of a phylogenetic reconstruction of one of the largest, and most poorly understood, groups of lice: the
Brueelia
-complex (
Bush et al., 2015
[1]
). Presented data include the voucher information and molecular data (GenBank accession numbers) of 333 ingroup taxa within the
Brueelia-
complex and 30 outgroup taxa selected from across the order Phthiraptera. Also included are phylogenetic reconstructions based on Bayesian inference analyses of combined COI and EF-1α sequences for
Brueelia
-complex species and outgroup taxa.
