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.<br><b>Columns</b><b><br></b>Trial: Five independent (1-5) experiments were performed throughout the summer. Each weevil was used two times in one experiment, during trials A and B. <br>Plant_treatment: Plant species (<i>Asclepias syriaca</i> or <i>Asclepias incarnata</i>) the weevils were presented with.<br>Weevil_id: Unique identifier for each weevil<br>Weevil_origin: Location where the weevil was collected<br>host_plant_origin:host plant where the weevil was collected<br>wild_phenotype: type of oviposition behavior observed in the host plant where the weevil was collected<br>APgirdle_damage: Absence or presence of girdling damage on the treatment plant<br>APstem_damage: Absence or presence of poking damage on the stem of the treatment plant<br><br>APleaf_herbivory: Absence or presence of leaf chewing damage on the treatment plant<br><br>APoviposition: Absence or presence of eggs on the treatment plant<br>
