Data Extent

Data from: Evolution of life history and dispersal traits during the range expansion of a biological control agent

This data was collected as part of a study on how Diorhabda carinulata, the biological control agent for the invasive weed tamarisk or saltcedar, has evolved during its rapid and recent range expansion. Eight populations of D. carinulata were collected from across the range, with four sites at the range core and four sites at the expanding edge. The data includes dispersal frequency and distance data from male D. carinulata and fecundity and age at first reproduction data from females. Dispersal data were collected using tethered flight mills in the laboratory and additional data is provided that describes the friction of each individual mill.
