Raw data for Seasonal Dynamics of Elaeidobius kamerunicus in Allopatric Populations: Comparative Analysis from Indigenous Mainland and Introduced Oil Palm Ecosystems in Uganda’s Lake Victoria Islands

The data were collected from the identified fields in the wet and dry seasons for two consecutive years. A total of nine spikelets were collected from each male inflorescence from 07:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., where three spikelets were collected each from the bottom, middle and top of a male inflorescence during anthesis. The sampled spikelets were stored in well-labelled sealable packs and transported to the entomology laboratory at the National Crops Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI) for population and sex determination.

本数据集的数据采集工作于连续两年的湿季与干季，在已划定的试验田块中开展。每日早7时至11时，从每个雄花序（male inflorescence）上采集共计9个小穗（spikelet）：扬花期（anthesis）时，分别从雄花序的基部、中部与顶端各采集3个小穗。采集得到的小穗被装入标注清晰的密封包装内，随后运送至国家作物资源研究所（National Crops Resources Research Institute, NaCRRI）的昆虫学实验室，开展种群与性别鉴定工作。
