Population count data from a resource degradation and temperature variation population dynamics experiment in the Plodia-Venturia host-parasitoid interaction

This dataset contains information on population counts in experimental populations of Plodia interpunctella (Pyralidae; Hübner) and the parasitoid wasp Venturia canescens (Ichneumonidae; Gravenhorst).

The data was collected from a multi-generation microcosm experiment carried out to characterise the combined effects of daily stochastic temperature fluctuations and resource degradation on population responses in the Plodia-Venturia host-parasitoid trophic interaction. The population count data include the weekly total numbers of dead adult hosts and parasitoids and the numbers of live early (L1-L3) and late (L4-L5) host instars and of host and parasitoid pupae in half sections of diet removed weekly and replaced by fresh diet (half sections are a 12th of experimental population boxes). The temperature time series data include the date and daily temperature in the fluctuating temperatures treatment.

本数据集包含印度谷螟（Plodia interpunctella，螟蛾科；Hübner）和寄生蜂Venturia canescens（姬蜂科；Gravenhorst）实验种群的数量统计信息。

这些数据来自一项多世代微宇宙实验（multi-generation microcosm experiment），该实验旨在阐明每日随机温度波动（stochastic temperature fluctuations）与资源退化（resource degradation）对印度谷螟- Venturia寄主-寄生蜂营养相互作用（trophic interaction）中种群响应的联合效应。

种群数量统计数据包括每周死亡的成年寄主与寄生蜂总数，以及每周移除并替换为新鲜饲料的饲料半段中存活的寄主早期幼虫龄期（early instars, L1-L3）、晚期幼虫龄期（late instars, L4-L5）、寄主蛹（host pupae）和寄生蜂蛹（parasitoid pupae）的数量（饲料半段为实验种群箱的1/12）。

温度时间序列数据包括波动温度处理组的日期和每日温度。
