dataset

This data publication contains genotypes for 324 individual southern pine beetles, generated for 24 microsatellites as described in Havill et al. (2019). Beetles were collected between August 2013 and June 2017 from 10 different sites within the U.S. (Arizona, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and three sites within Mississippi), and a site in Michoacán, Mexico. Funnel traps baited with frontalin and alpha-pinene were used to collect the beetles. Physical vouchers of individual beetles are deposited at the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven, Connecticut. These data were collected to characterize broad-scale patterns of genetic variation in the southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis. Original metadata date was 03/25/2019. Minor metadata updates were made on 04/24/2019.
