Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:44 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 27, 2020 at 12:00 AM
This data release includes data and metadata containing (1) study site locations and elevation where bolts (tree stem sections) infected with Ceratocystis lukuohia and/or C. huliohia were collected on Hawai'i Island, (2) the ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) species that were reared from bolts, (3) Ceratocystis spp. viability results from culturing tests of the beetles' frass, (4) frass production estimates from three ambrosia beetle species, and (5) quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) DNA results of viability subcultures. Data were used in the analysis for the manuscript "Ambrosia beetle communities and frass production in ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) infected with Ceratocystis fungi responsible for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death." Beetles and frass were collected in the lab from Rapid 'Ōhiʻa Death-infected trees from 2018-2019.
