Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

Data from: Shared and unique microbes between Small hive beetles (Aethina tumida) and their honey bee hosts

    The small hive beetle (SHB) *Aethina tumida* is an opportunistic parasite that feeds on bee larvae, honey, and pollen. To identify sets of beetle microbes and the transmission of microbes from bees to beetles, a metagenomic analysis was performed. We identified sets of herbivore‐associated bacteria, as well as typical bee symbiotic bacteria for pollen digestion, in SHB larvae and adults. Microbes found from Illumina DNA reads using Kraken include DNA reads aligned to HoloBee Bar database report, adult beetle microbe qPCR results from DNA extraction, adult beetle de novo assembled contig_names, larvae beetle Pacbio_reads.

    Leptinotarsa decemlineata genome assembly 1.0

      This dataset presents the Leptinotarsa decemlineata genome v1.0. This assembly version is the pre-release version, prior to filtering and quality control by the [National Center for Biotechnology Information's GenBank resource](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_000696205.1)

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

        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 (*Agrilus planipennis*) immature stages and associated parasitoids on infested ash trees (*Fraxinus*) in Southern Michigan, where three introduced biological control agents had been released between 2007 - 2010.
