Description: specimens collected under the Comparison of detection methods,Additional detection method testing, Temporal fluctuations of Leptopilina Species, Geographic Distribution of Leptopilina Species in Southeastern Blackberry Fields sections.

Variables

• year: year when samples were collected (2022 or 2023)
• data type: what section the data were collected under; options include detection (Comparison of detection methods), temporal (Temporal fluctuations of Leptopilina Species), spatial (Geographic Distribution of Leptopilina Species in Southeastern Blackberry Fields), and additional (Additional detection method testing).
• site code: where the samples were collected; options include Site 1, Site 2, Site 3, Site 4, Site 5, Site 6. Sites 1 - 3 are research stations and Sites 4 - 6 are commercial farms.
• institution code: sample id for each specimen used in the Specialty Crops Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management lab at North Carolina State University. A value of “.” notes a sample that has not currently received an anonymized institution code.
• sample type: how the specimen was collected; options include Liquid Trap, Sentinel Trap, Fruit Incubation, Wild Fruit, and Crop Fruit.
• month of collection: month and year combination for when each specimen was collected. Date range includes October 2022 to November 2023.
• id: species identification of each specimen. Only specimens that could be identified to species are included.
