Data from: Quantifying Insect Dispersal Distances from Trapping Detections Data to Predict Delimiting Survey Radii, raw Mexfly data

    Trapping survey detections data for Mexfly, Anastrepha ludens, with latitudes and longitudes and other spatial identifications removed, to protect private properties from being identified. Data are from Texas, 2016-2019, and were used to quantify the dispersal kernel, or total distance travelled, up to 30 days. "Raw Mexfly detections data v1.csv" is the dataset for all detections, which can be used to verify the records that were included (clustered) in the analysis or not (not clustered).

    Data from: Quantifying Insect Dispersal Distances from Trapping Detections Data to Predict Delimiting Survey Radii, Mexfly distances

      Trapping survey detections data for Mexfly, Anastrepha ludens, with latitudes and longitudes and other spatial identifications removed, to protect private properties from being identified. Data are from Texas, 2016-2019, and were used to quantify the dispersal kernel, or total distance travelled, up to 30 days. "Collected Mexfly distances data v1.csv" is the data with clustering for proximity in time and space. This data includes distance metrics calculated for each record, from the cluster centroid.

      Data from: Long-lasting insecticide-incorporated netting and interception traps at pilot-scale warehouses and commercial facilities prevents infestation by stored product beetles

        Data are presented from a study of the efficacy for insecticide netting and interception traps in pilot-scale and commercial food facilities. Excel files cover: Attraction Assessment; Dose Dependency Data; Spillage Trap Collections; Spillage Trap Progeny; Trial 1 Recapture; Trial 1 Progeny Production; Trial 2 Recapture; Trial 2 Progeny Production.

        Bio-Control Parasite

          A model that simulates host and parasitoid population interactions, parasitism rates, and plant damage is described. BIOCONTROL-PARASITE can simulate many different species of phytophagus insects, parasitoids, and plants because specifics of the insect and plant biology are entered though menus at the beginning of a simulation.

          Resampling Validation of Sample Plans (RVSP)

            Sets of tools for sample plan evaluation originally released in 1997, these Monte Carlo simulations can be used to evaluate sampling models during the developmental phase; however, they may not be adequate for testing model validity and performance under field conditions. This is primarily due to the assumption of an underlying statistical distribution (e.g., negative-binomial, normal) which may not adequately represent the actual distributions of insects in all instances. Here we present a method in which actual field data is resampled to evaluate sample plan performance. We originally developed DOS-based computer software for this purpose.
