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.

This data release includes metadata and tabular data that describes ambrosia beetles that were collected on sticky traps placed on trees inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia and on control trees which were not inoculated with the fungus. The dataset includes beetles identified by species and the date on which they were collected. Two sticky traps were placed on each tree.

These data include the ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) species that were reared from bolts (tree stem sections) infected with Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death on Hawaiʻi Island from 2018-2019. These data were used to determine species, number of individuals reared, height, and elevation in which these beetles live.

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 Death." Beetles and frass were collected in the lab from Rapid 'Ōhiʻa Death-infected trees from 2018-2019.

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."
