novel associations among insect herbivores and trees: drivers of occurrence and damage on pines and eucalypts

List of novel associations between insects and pine and eucalypt trees recorded in these study. We detail characteristics of the insect species involved in each novel association, indicating their order, family, subfamily species, native biogeographic region, non-native biogeographic where it has established, feeding guild, specificity in host use, and impact. We also detail the biogeographic region where the novel association was reported, the novel association type, the pine and eucalypt novel host involved in the association, and the phylogenetic relatedness between ancient and novel hosts both for pines and eucalypts., , , # Record of novel associations between insect and tree

## Description of the data and file structure

List of novel associations between insects and pine and eucalypt trees recorded in these study. We detail characteristics of the insect species involved in each novel association, indicating their order, family, subfamily species, native biogeographic region, non-native biogeographic where it has established, feeding guild, specificity in host use, impact and the tree condition (living, living -daying or dead- and dead; Information not available is indicated as N/A and '-'). We also detail the biogeographic region where the novel association was reported, the novel association type, the pine and eucalypt novel host involved in the association, and the phylogenetic relatedness between ancient and novel hosts both for pines and eucalypts. Colors were assigned for the insect species involved: two new assoc...
