These data were collected by Lawrence Blumer at Morehouse College in Spring 2021. Beetles were reared on garbanzo beans (N=11), hyacinth beans (N=11), green peas (N=11), and lentils (N=11). Data set also includes two negative controls. Beetles were from the LB strain adapted to their host bean for many generations. Beetles were adult females. Beetles were surface-sterilized. Beetles were extracted with QIAGEN DNA-Easy kits. Sequences are for the v4 region. MiSeq sequencing was done by MrDNA labs. For more information, contact Lawrence Blumer .
