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.

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.
