The effects of the invasive Harrisia cactus mealybug (Hypogeococcus sp.) and exotic lianas (Jasminum fluminense) on Puerto Rican native cacti survival and reproduction - Data

This is the data used to determine Harrisia Cactus Mealybug (HCM), Hypogeococcus sp. (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on cactus mortality and reproduction. This data was collected in a period of 4 years. Each site was visit twice, one initial visit to determine the initial conditions of each cactus survey and then 1.5-2 years after.
