AB A low-coverage genome was generated for each of four environmental key-species of macroinvertebrate taxa for the primary purpose of microsatellite marker development. De novo assemblies and microsatellite markers were designed for the freshwater species Isoperla grammatica, Amphinemura sulcicollis, and Baetis rhodani but have not been completed for the common shiny woodlice Oniscus asellus. Here, the data is made available, and the methods and pipeline are described which led to the creation of this resource. As widespread and functionally important organisms, which are often neglected in favour of studies on vertebrates, this data will be a useful resource for further research.
