Data from: Niche partitioning and coexistence of parasitoids of the same feeding guild introduced for biological control of an invasive forest pest
The data set is collected to evaluate if two parasitoids (Spathius galinae and Tetrastichus planipennisi), introduced for biocontrol of the invasive emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, into North America have established niche-partitioning, co-existing populations following their sequential or simultaneous field releases to 12 hard-wood forests located in Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. Ash trees of various sizes (large, pole-size and saplings) were debarked meter by meter in early spring of 2019 (Michigan sites) or fall of 2019 (Northeast states: Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York). Detailed data collection procedures can be found in the associated publication in Biological Control.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
This data set may be used to study the co-establishment and impact of specialist parasitoids (Spathius galinae and Tetrastichus planipennisi) introduced to the US for biological control of the invasive tree pest, emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis)Use limitations
These data can not be used to assess the impact of introduced parasitoids on the target pest populations because early instars of EAB larvae and EAB eggs are excluded from this study.Temporal Extent Start Date
