Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

This repository contains the data supporting the study “Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?”

The datasets were generated through controlled laboratory experiments designed to assess whether the presence of endosymbiotic bacteria in aphids indirectly affects parasitoid searching behaviour via modifications in honeydew production.

The repository includes experimental data on aphid honeydew production, aphid symbiotic status, and parasitoid behavioural responses. Data are provided in structured tabular formats suitable for statistical analysis. Variable names, units, and experimental conditions are documented to facilitate interpretation and reuse.

All data have been curated and quality-checked prior to deposition. No personal or sensitive data are included. The datasets enable replication of the analyses presented in the associated publication and may be reused for comparative studies on insect–microbe interactions, chemical ecology, or parasitoid foraging behaviour.

Users are requested to cite the associated article when using these data.

本数据集仓库收录支撑下述研究的实验数据："蚜虫内共生细菌（endosymbiotic bacteria）是否通过改变蚜虫蜜露（honeydew）分泌，进而影响寄生蜂（parasitoid）的搜寻行为？"

本数据集通过受控实验室实验生成，该实验旨在探究蚜虫体内的内共生细菌是否可通过改变蜜露分泌，间接影响寄生蜂的搜寻行为。

本仓库包含三类实验数据：蚜虫蜜露分泌量、蚜虫共生状态，以及寄生蜂的行为响应。数据以适配统计分析的结构化表格格式提供。所有变量名称、计量单位与实验条件均已存档记录，以便后续解读与复用。

所有数据在入库前均已完成整理与质量校验，且未包含任何个人或敏感信息。本数据集可复现关联发表论文中的分析过程，亦可被复用至昆虫-微生物互作、化学生态学或寄生蜂觅食行为等相关比较研究中。
