Data from: Fuelling Natural Enemies: Laboratory Assessment of Sugar Solution on the Longevity of Plutella xylostella and its Parasitoids from Central Argentina
收藏资源简介:
This dataset contains adult longevity data for Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth) and its associated parasitoid complex from central Argentina. The data were collected under two dietary treatments: water-only (Control) and artificial nectar (40% w/w 1:1 glucose:fructose solution). Six species are included: the pest P. xylostella, four primary parasitoids (D. leontiniae, O. sokolowskii, A. piceotrichosus, and Siphona sp.), and one facultative hyperparasitoid (C. pseudofulvovariegata). The dataset was used to assess the effect of carbohydrate provisioning on adult longevity using survival analysis methods (Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models). Variables include treatment, species, and longevity in days. For detailed methods, please see the associated publication and the README.txt file included with this dataset.
