Ash trees of various sizes (large, pole-size and saplings) were debarked meter by meter in early spring of 2019 (Michigan sites) or fall of 2019  (Northeast states: Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York). Detailed data collection procedures can be found in the associated publication in Biological Control. </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Niche partitioning and coexistence of parasitoids of the same feeding guild introduced for biological control of an invasive forest pest - Michigan data.</p> <p>File Name: Michigan 2019-EAB Parasitoid Niche Partition-Raw.csv</p><p>Resource Description:  Michigan Dataset</p><p>Resource Software Recommended: JMP,url: <a href=\"https://www.JMP.com\">https://www.JMP.com</a> </p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: Niche partitioning and coexistence of parasitoids of the same feeding guild introduced for biological control of an invasive forest pest - Northeast states data.</p> <p>File Name: NE Dataset 2019-EAB Parasitoid Niche Partition-Raw.csv</p><p>Resource Description: Northeast States Data set</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: Niche partitioning and coexistence of parasitoids of the same feeding guild introduced for biological control of an invasive forest pest - Data Dictionary.</p> <p>File Name: Data Dictionary for Parasitoid niche partitioning study from Biological Control.docx</p><p>Resource Description: Data dictionary</p></li></ul><p></p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/43369668", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/plain", "title": "Michigan 2019-EAB Parasitoid Niche Partition-Raw.csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/43369671", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/plain", "title": "NE Dataset 2019-EAB Parasitoid Niche Partition-Raw.csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/43369674", "format": "docx", "mediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", "title": "Data Dictionary for Parasitoid niche partitioning study from Biological Control.docx"}], "identifier": "10.15482/USDA.ADC/1522681", "keyword": ["ARS", "NP304", "Parasitoid co-existence", "biocontrol", "data.gov", "emerald ash borer", "natural enemy introduction", "resource partitioning"], "license": "https://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2025-11-21", "programCode": ["005:040"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Agricultural Research Service"}, "spatial": "{\"type\": \"MultiPoint\", \"coordinates\": [[-84.488983154297, 42.644945030674], [-84.395599365234, 42.757978500354], [-84.535675048828, 42.786204711686], [-84.560394287109, 42.784188980349], [-84.541168212891, 42.695431828485], [-84.543914794922, 42.685337749656], [-72.990417480469, 41.617239022247], [-72.594909667969, 41.592594235], [-73.917388916016, 41.952213608198], [-73.997039794922, 41.856137222605], [-72.189788818359, 41.923610229056]]}", "temporal": "2019-04-24/2019-10-28", "title": "Data from: Niche partitioning and coexistence of parasitoids of the same feeding guild introduced for biological control of an invasive forest pest"}
