Mapping genetic and phylogenetic diversity of IUCN Red-Listed insects inside and outside protected areas for effective conservation

<p>This dataset contains supplementary figures for the paper titled "<em>Mapping genetic and phylogenetic diversity of IUCN Red-Listed insects inside and outside protected areas for effective conservation</em>." This study addresses the often-overlooked genetic diversity within conservation actions by mapping intraspecific genetic diversity of IUCN Red-Listed beetles and butterflies in Italy. Using genetic sequence data from public repositories and spatial analyses, we generated comprehensive maps that illustrate patterns of allelic richness (AR), nucleotide diversity (&pi;), and haplotype diversity (h) across the ranges of these species.&nbsp;We also performed spatial interpolation to map intraspecific phylogenetic diversity, providing an insight into lineage distributions for these Red-Listed Italian species.&nbsp;This dataset also includes plots analyzing the coverage of genetic diversity and lineage presence within and outside protected areas, providing insights into the effectiveness of these areas in conserving genetic diversity and supporting lineage persistence.</p>
