These data contain the gps coordinates of ʻōhiʻa trees used in documenting the visitation of ambrosia beetles to ʻōhiʻa trees in two different experiments. The diameter at breast height (DBH; cm) of the trees were also recorded.

These data contain the documentation of ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) attack on healthy ʻōhiʻa trees. Beetles were collected on sticky cards.

These data contain the documentation of ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) attack or colonization on healthy ʻōhiʻa trees that were wounded or un-wounded. Beetles are attracted to stressed trees that emit an ethanol scent which was simulated with wounding. Beetles were collected on sticky cards and gallery (tunnels where beetles live) formation was documented.

This release includes data and metadata (1-2) documenting visitation of ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to healthy ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees in two separate experiments, (3) geographical location and details of the trees used in the experiments, (4) culture of the fungal pathogens Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia from naturally and experimentally infected ambrosia beetles, and (5) experimental transmission of the pathogens to healthy ʻōhiʻa seedlings by multiple species of ambrosia beetles. Data were used in the manuscript titled, "Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) can directly transmit the fungal pathogens responsible for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death." This version of this data release contains an additional child item that was inadvertently omitted from the original release. First posted - December 13, 2022. Revised - April 4, 2023 (version 2.0 - contains all data from original release, plus one additional dataset)

This data release includes metadata and tabular data that describes changes in tree foliage condition and attack rates of beetles on trees inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia and on untreated, control trees during 10 January 2019 - .12 August 2021.

These data contain the global position system (GPS) coordinates with elevation of multi-panel traps used to collect ambrosia beetles at two locations within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the Ka‘ū Forest Reserve.

This data release includes data and metadata documenting Ceratocystis viability, moisture content, and beetle activity in felled and tarped ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees previously having been determined to be infected with either Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia, the fungi that cause rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD).

This data release includes metadata and tabular data that documents the response of ohia (Metrosideros polymorpha) and ambrosia beetles (Curculionidae, Xyleborini) following the intentional inoculation of healthy ohia to Ceratocystis lukuohia, one of two fungal pathogens that causes Rapid Ohia Death (ROD). Ohia were inoculated with the ROD pathogen at three sites differing in elevation on the Island of Hawaii during January and June 2019. Inoculated and control trees were monitored for changes in foliage condition, beetle attack rates, beetle species composition, and the viability of the fungi within the tree through August 2021. These data are represented in the following seven files: 1) descriptions of trees, 2) tree conditions and the presence of beetle galleries, 3) beetles collected in boring dust traps (BDTs), 4) viability of fungi in beetle frass, 5) beetles collected on sticky traps, 6) descriptions of felled trees, and 7) beetles emerging from felled trees.

These data include bark and ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species collected in cross-vane panel traps (CVPT) baited with a 1:1 methanol:ethanol lure in Northeastern ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) dominant forests of Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi in 2021.

These data include bark and ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species directly reared from ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) wood infected with either Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia, the pathogens responsible for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD). Rearing took place on Kauaʻi between January 2020 and November 2021.
