Data from: Novel associations among insect herbivores and trees: drivers of occurrence and damage on pines and eucalypts

List of novel associations beteween insects and pine and eucalypt trees recorded in these study (each row represents a single novel association). We detail characteristics of the insect species involved in each novel association, indicating their order, family, subfamily species, native biogeographic region (Afr: Afrotropic, AP: Austro-Pacific, IM: Indo-Malaya, Nea: Nearctic, Neo: Neotropic, Pal: Palearctic), non-native biogeographic region where it has established, feeding guild (W&PF: wood and phloem feeder, FF: foliage feeder, F&SF: fruit and seed feeders , SF: sap feeder, ShF: shoot feeder), specificity in host use (VP: very polyphagous, P: polyphagous, O: oligophagous, M: monophagous), impact (N: negligible, L-M: low-medium, H: high, LD: lack of data), and the tree condition (L: living, DD: dying or dead, D: exclusively dead). Information not available is indicated as N/A). We also detail the biogeographic region where the novel association was reported, the novel association type (NIET: native insect on exotic trees, EINT: exotic insect on native trees, EIET: exotic insect on exotic trees), the pine and eucalypt novel host involved in the association, and the phylogenetic relatedness between ancient and novel hostts both for pines and eucalypts (SG: same genus, SF: different genera of the same family, DF: different family). Colors were assigned for the  insect species involved in: two new association (orange), three new association (yellow), four new association (pink), five new association (green).
