Abstract:
Genetic diversity, a fundamental aspect of biodiversity, greatly influences the ecological and evolutionary characteristics of populations and species. Compiling genetic data is crucial as the initial step in comprehending and applying genetic resources; however, regional collating work is still insufficient, especially in marine ecosystems. Here, by conducting a thorough literature search and quality-control procedures, we provide a dataset of genetic diversity studies on marine species in the China Seas. The final dataset comprised a total of 746 studies (encompassing 840 data sets and 3658 populations) across 343 species from 1998 to 2022. For each data set, information including publication year, publication language, studied species, belonged taxonomic group, applied molecular markers, and sampling strategies (number of populations, total number of individuals, etc.) was collated to analyse the scope, strengths, and omissions of these works. This dataset offers a comprehensive overview of genetic diversity studies in the China Seas, which may help to adjust future research focuses, promote conservation and macrogenetics studies in this region, and also facilitate regional cooperation.
