    Data from: Development of an aggressive bark beetle on novel hosts: Implications for outbreaks in an invaded range
    (2017-11-11) Rosenberger, Derek W; Venette, Robert C; Aukema, Brian H; dwrosenberger@olivet.edu; Rosenberger, Derek W
    Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is an aggressive bark beetle native to western North America currently expanding its range east. Should it reach northeastern North American pine forests, it is unclear how novel pine hosts might affect traits related to reproduction and development. These data are the result of studies meant to determine how four novel pine hosts might impact mountain pine beetle reproduction and development, relative to two historical hosts.

    Mountain Pine Beetle Colonization of Novel Hosts
    (2017-04-20) Rosenberger, Derek W; Venette, Robert C; Maddox, Mitchell P; Aukema, Brian H; dwrosenberger@olivet.edu; Rosenberger, Derek W
    Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) threatens eastern pine species due to an ongoing eastward expansion of its range through the Canadian boreal forest. This data was collected to assess the acceptance and attraction behaviors of mountain pine beetle in relation to two historical western North American and four novel eastern North American hosts.
