Abstract
Heat waves – brief periods of unusually high temperatures – are damaging to agroecosystems and are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Despite growing appreciation for the threat that heat waves pose pose to agricultural sustainability, we have a poor understanding of what determines their impact on agroecological interactions in the field. Here we report a field experiment that examined how heat waves and their timing interact with crop pest resistance to influence the interactions between potato (Solanum tuberosum) and its most damaging pest, the Colorado potato beetle (CPB; Leptinotarsa decemlineata). We used open-top chambers and ceramic heaters to generate heat wave conditions in field plots with pest-resistant (Atlantic) and -susceptible (King Harry) potato varieties at four CPB developmental stages (neonate, late-larval, pupa, and adult stages). We then assessed CPB performance at larval and adult stages, leaf herbivory, and tuber yield.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
-
Description of methods used for collection/generation of data:
CPB larval performance: After each of the first two heat waves
(the neonate- and larval-stages heat waves), we recorded larval
count, length, and instar stage to assess larval survival, growth,
and development.CPB adult performance: When the first adults began to emerge,
which corresponded with the end of the 3rd heat wave, we surveyed
plots every other day for six consecutive weeks, and collected and
recorded the number of adult beetles emerged. Adult beetles were
frozen immediately after collection, oven-dried, weighed, and
sexed.Leaf herbivory: We estimated leaf herbivory after the 2nd heat
wave event to assess the effects of heat wave timing and plant
resistance on leaf damage. Percent herbivory across the whole plant
was estimated visually following the Primary HerbVar Survey
Protocol. At this time, most larvae had pupated, thus allowing us to
estimate total herbivory by larvae, when most plant tissue is
consumed.Potato yield: In the fall, when plants began senescing
aboveground, we dug tubers from each plant, sorted them by plot into
size and quality classes, and measured the mass of marketable
tubers. -
Methods for processing the data:
“CPB_larval_surveys.csv” to analyze larval development we transposed
this data set from wide to long format using the pivot function in
the tiverse package (R software).“CPB_adult_emergence.csv” we assess CPB adult development we
transposed this data set from wide to long format using the pivot
function in the tiverse package (R software). We then estimated
developmental rates by first calculating the days CPB took to emerge
from inoculation to emergence, and then log transformed the rate of
emerge (1/days to emergence).“potato_yield.csv” Marketable potato mass corresponded to class 1
and 2 (coded as C1 and C2 in the data set).
