Data from: Effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticide Netting on Tribolium castaneum is Modulated by Multiple Exposures, Biotic, and Abiotic Factors

Response of Tribolium castaneum to exposure to long-lasting insecticide treated netting (LLIN). Includes data on multiple exposures over 5 days and exposures to different biotic and abiotic conditions. Also includes data on movement on the LLIN under different conditions. This was collected to understand cumulative effects of exposure to LLIN and provide information on population recovery parameters in using LLIN as a pest management tactic against stored-product insect pests.

• Resource Title: Affected Tribolium castaneum post-exposure to long-lasting insecticide treated netting.

  File Name: all_alternative_factors_data_stacked_to_upload.xlsx

  Resource Description: Beetles were exposed 10 mixed sex adults at a time in a single 90 mm petri dish to either Treated or Control (untreated) insecticide treated netting. After exposure a single beetle was placed in a well of a 24-well plate under described Condition Tested. Beetles were assessed for whether they were affected (uncoordinated or no movement) after 6 hours and again after 24 hours. Most Conditions were tested in 3 blocks (different dates). If the adult beetle was affected it was scored with a 1; unaffected (normal movement) was scored as 0.




• Resource Title: Behavior of Tribolium castaneum under different age and time of day conditions on netting.

  File Name: all_behavior_data_to_upload.csv

  Resource Description: Behavioral data of Tribolium castaneum on long-lasting insecticide treated netting under different age and time of day conditions. There were 3 blocks of data collected on different dates with 10 beetles exposed to untreated (control) netting and 10 beetles exposed to treated netting. Output is exported from Ethovision XT software. Distances are measured in cm and time is measured in seconds. Frequency is the number of events within the assay time frame. Moving and not moving categories are based on velocity. Highly mobile, mobile, and immobile are based on change in body movements over frames within the video.




• Resource Title: Temperature and relative humidity of incubator versus bench.

  File Name: all_bench_vs_incubator_temp_RH_to_upload.csv

  Resource Description: Temperature (degrees C) and relative humidity recorded by Hobo Dataloggers for the bench, or general laboratory space, and an incubator. These two locations were used to compare recovery of beetles from exposure to long-lasting insecticide treated netting.




• Resource Title: Proportion affected for short-term exposure on 5 days and 1 day longer-term exposure.

  File Name: all_multiple_exposures_to_upload.csv

  Resource Description: These data were collected on adult Tribolium castaneum in groups of 10 adult beetles exposed to either Treated netting or Control (untreated) netting in a 90 mm petri dish. The number affected out of 10 is reported as well as the proportion of affected adults. Affected is uncoordinated or no movement. Three blocks were conducted on 3 different dates and 10 replicate petri on each date. Exposure is represented by the Day and duration of exposure. For example, Day1_10min means day 1 (first exposure) for 10 minutes on the netting. The 30 minute exposure only has Day1_30min and was not repeated multiple days. The same group of 10 replicates for each block were tested 5 days in a row for 10 minutes.
