Study of the overwintering ecology of the hazelnut pest, Palomena prasina (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in a perspective of Integrated Pest Management

# Study of the overwintering ecology of the hazelnut pest, *Palomena prasina* (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in a perspective of Integrated Pest Management. [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.zcrjdfnjt](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.zcrjdfnjt) *Six dataset from this paper are available. Data collection is described in the material and methods.* *The files untitled "Overwintering site\_human made structures.xlsx", "Overwintering site\_leaf\_litter.xlsx" , "Overwintering site\_foliage.xlsx" and "Overwintering\_sites\_abiotic\_parameters" contain abundance data and abiotic parameters collected to study the overwintering site of P. prasina in human made structures, leaf litter and evergreen foliage . Then, data set named "Spring\_emergence\_monitoring.xlsx" corresponds to the abundance of P. prasina adults emerging from the leaf litter in spring, that were collected in the Cone traps (20) and the Circle traps (20) at both sites (a wood and a hazelnut orchard). Finally, the dataset "Reproductive\_status.xlsx" is the result of adults dissections collected in their overwintering site and in the spring emergence traps.* ## Description of the data and file structure This is a freeform section for you to describe how the data are structured and how a potential consumer might use them. Be as descriptive as necessary. Keep in mind that users of your data might be new to the field and unfamiliar with common terminology, metrics, etc. Describe relationships between data files, missing data codes, other abbreviations used. Be as descriptive as possible. *"Overwintering site\_human made structures.xlsx":* * year= study year * date= sampling date * volunteer\_ID= identification of the participating volunteers * cities= city where the true bugs were collected * structure= type of human made structures where the bugs were collected * inside\_outside= if the bugs were found inside or outside * site\_structure= which part of the human made structure they were found * true\_bug\_species= species of the collected true bugs * true\_bug\_abundance= their total abundance NA corresponds to "Non Available" data. *"Overwintering site\_foliage.xlsx":* * year= study year * sampling\_date= date of the sampling * site\_ID= identification of the study site * ecosystem\_type= type of ecosystem (described in the Material and methods) * zone= study zone in the study site (described in the Material and methods) * plant\_species= latin name of the sampled plant species * heteropteran\_species= latin name of the collected heteropteran bugs * hetereopteran\_abundnace= their total abundance NA corresponds to "Non Available" data. *"Overwintering site\_leaf\_litter.xlsx":* * year= study year * sampling\_date= date of the sampling * site\_ID= identification of the study site * ecosystem\_type= type of ecosystem (described in the Material and methods) * zone= study zone in the study site (described in the Material and methods) * leaf\_litter\_sampling\_number= the number of the sampling * heteropteran\_species= latin name of the collected heteropteran bugs * hetereopteran\_abundance= their total abundance NA corresponds to "Non Available" data.
