Data from: Virus infection and host plant suitability affect feeding behaviors of cannabis aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a newly described vector of potato virus Y

This dataset was collected from electrical penetration graph (EPG) analysis experiments which were utilized to observe differences in feeding behaviors of cannabis aphids which were subjected to four treatments. The treatments were chosen in order to observe effects of virus presence in the aphid and host plant suitability on feeding behaviors of the cannabis aphid. The treatments were 1) non-viruliferous aphid probing on hemp, 2) non-viruliferous aphid probing on potato, 3) viruliferous aphid probing on hemp, 4) viruliferous aphid probing on potato. This dataset includes grids (.ana files) obtained from analysis of recorded EPG waveforms in Stylet software; R files containing statistical analysis between treatments; R files containing construction of figures; .csv files containing the outputs from the EPG excel macro worksheet developed by Sarria et al. (2009). Three different time periods of the EPG recording were analyzed (initial 15 minutes, initial 30 minutes, and entire 8 hours). This dataset was also collected from individual transmission assays (using one cannabis aphid per plant) and cohort transmission assays (using groups of 20 cannabis aphids per plant). Data for both individual and cohort assays are contained as separate .xlsx files. Additionally, this dataset includes data from a population growth experiment utilizing cannabis aphids and potato plants to confirm potato as a non-host for the cannabis aphid. This data is presented in supplementary_table_1.xlsx.
