Roy, K., Jaenecke, K.A., and Peck, R.W., 2020, Hawaiʻi Island Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death Ambrosia Beetle Communities and Frass 2018-2019: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RJKOO6.

Summary

This data release includes data and metadata containing (1) study site locations and elevation where bolts (tree stem sections) infected with Ceratocystis lukuohia and/or C. huliohia were collected on Hawai'i Island, (2) the ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) species that were reared from bolts, (3) Ceratocystis spp. viability results from culturing tests of the beetles' frass, (4) frass production estimates from three ambrosia beetle species, and (5) quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) DNA results of viability subcultures. Data were used in the analysis for the manuscript "Ambrosia beetle communities and frass production in ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) infected with Ceratocystis fungi responsible for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa [...]

Purpose

Data were collected to understand the ambrosia beetle communities and frass produced from Ceratocystis-infected Metrosideros polymorpha (ʻōhiʻa) trees, a phenomenon referred to as Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD). We addressed this by collecting beetles and frass from ROD-infected trees on Hawaiʻi Island. Ambrosia beetles are hypothesized to play a major role in the spread of ROD, although the species involved and the amount of frass that they produce were previously unknown.
