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: Habitat type and host grazing regimen influence the soil microbial diversity and communities within potential biting midge larval habitats
Culicoides biting midges are important vectors of diverse microbes such as viruses, protozoa, and nematodes that cause diseases in wild and domestic animals.
To investigate the role of microbial communities in midge larval habitat utilization in the wild, we characterized microbial communities (bacterial, protistan, fungal and metazoan) in soils from disturbed (bison and cattle grazed) and undisturbed (non-grazed) pond and spring potential midge larval habitats. We evaluated the influence of habitat and grazing disturbance and their interaction on microbial communities, diversity, presence of midges, and soil properties.
Data from: Importance of color for artificial clay caterpillars as sentinel prey in maize, soybean, and prairie
The use of artificial clay caterpillars to measure predation pressure under real field conditions is one method that has garnered recent support for quantifying ecosystem services that beneficial insects provide. Here, we focus on color and ask whether it is an important variable that should be considered in studies using clay caterpillars as sentinel prey.
Manduca sexta Official Gene Set v2.2
This dataset presents the *Manduca sexta* Official Gene Set (OGS) v2.2. It is derived from Official Gene Sets OGSv2.0 and OGSv2.1.
Manduca sexta Official Gene Set v2.0
This dataset presents the Manduca sexta Official Gene Set (OGS) v2.0. It is predicted from genome assembly Msex_1.0 (GCA_000262585.1).
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.
Data from: The testes transcriptome of the New World Screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax
This study reports the assembly of 4149 transcripts (≥200 nt) from testes dissected from New World Screwworm *Cochliomyia hominivorax* males obtained from the J06 strain used in the screwworm production plant in Pacora, Panama.
