Bioassay: Rhyssomatus host plant use

Bioassay: Rhyssomatus weevils collected from milkweed plants were sequentially presented with two milkweed species. Oviposition behavior and host plant use data were collected.ColumnsTrial: Five independent (1-5) experiments were performed throughout the summer. Each weevil was used two times in one experiment, during trials A and B. Plant_treatment: Plant species (Asclepias syriaca or Asclepias incarnata) the weevils were presented with.Weevil_id: Unique identifier for each weevilWeevil_origin: Location where the weevil was collectedhost_plant_origin:host plant where the weevil was collectedwild_phenotype: type of oviposition behavior observed in the host plant where the weevil was collectedAPgirdle_damage: Absence or presence of girdling damage on the treatment plantAPstem_damage: Absence or presence of poking damage on the stem of the treatment plantAPleaf_herbivory: Absence or presence of leaf chewing damage on the treatment plantAPoviposition: Absence or presence of eggs on the treatment plant
