Data from: Population dynamics of an invasive forest insect and associated natural enemies in the aftermath of invasion

<p>Datasets archived here consist of all data analyzed in Duan et al. 2015 from Journal of Applied Ecology.   Specifically, these data were collected from annual sampling of emerald ash borer (<em>Agrilus planipennis</em>) immature stages and associated parasitoids on infested ash trees (<em>Fraxinus</em>) in Southern Michigan, where three introduced biological control agents had been released between 2007 - 2010.  Detailed data collection procedures can be found in Duan et al. 2012, 2013, and 2015.   </p><div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Duan J Data on EAB larval density-bird predation and unknown factor from Journal of Applied Ecology.</p> <p>File Name: Duan J Data on EAB larval density-bird predation and unknown factor from Journal of Applied Ecology.xlsx</p><p>Resource Description: This data set is used to calculate mean EAB density (per m2 of ash phloem area), bird predation rate and mortality rate caused by unknown factors and analyzed with JMP (10.2) scripts for mixed effect linear models in Duan et al. 2015 (Journal of Applied Ecology).</p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: DUAN J Data on Parasitism L1-L2 Excluded from Journal of Applied Ecology.</p> <p>File Name: DUAN J Data on Parasitism L1-L2 Excluded from Journal of Applied Ecology.xlsx</p><p>Resource Description: This data set is used to construct life tables and calculation of net population growth rate of emerald ash borer for each site.
