Summary
This release includes data and metadata (1-2) documenting visitation of ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to healthy ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees in two separate experiments, (3) geographical location and details of the trees used in the experiments, (4) culture of the fungal pathogens Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia from naturally and experimentally infected ambrosia beetles, and (5) experimental transmission of the pathogens to healthy ʻōhiʻa seedlings by multiple species of ambrosia beetles. Data were used in the manuscript titled, "Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) can directly transmit the fungal pathogens responsible for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death." This version of this data release contains [...]

Data were collected to support Leachʻs rules (Leach 1940) of insect transmission, confirming the invasive ambrosia beetle species, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xyleborus perforans, and Xyleborinus saxesenii are all vectors of the fungal disease Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD). These data can be used for the development of management strategies to control the spread of ROD. Leach, J.G. (1940). Insect Transmission of Plant Diseases. McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc.
