These data were collected by students at Morehouse College in Fall 2019. Beetles were reared on black-eyed peas. Beetles were from the LB and SI strains adapted to their host bean for many generations. Beetles were males. Beetles were adults. 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 Larry Blumer at lblumer@morehouse.edu.
