Data from: Multiple infestation of a grain mass by <i>Sitophilus oryzae</i> L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the fungus, <i>Aspergillus flavus,</i> optimizes abiotic conditions for improved insect fitness
Department of Agriculture —
Source Insects and MicrobesSitophilus oryzae that were 4–8-week-old and collected from a food facility in eastern Kansas in 2012 were used. Adults were reared... -

Data from: Attraction, mobility, and preference by Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Ptinidae) to microbially-mediated volatile emissions by two species of fungi in stored grain
Department of Agriculture —
Our goals were to 1) isolate, and culture two fungal morphotypes, 2) characterize the volatile emissions from grain inoculated by each fungal morphotype (Aspergillus... -

Data from: Microbial vectoring capacity by internal- and external-infesting stored product insects after varying dispersal periods between novel food patches: An underestimated risk
Department of Agriculture —
To determine whether colony populations of Lasioderma serricorne (cigarette beetle, CB) and Sitophilus oryzae (rice weevil, RW) vectored microbes, and to identify... -

Data from: Grain inoculated with different growth stages of the fungus, Aspergillus flavus, affect the close-range foraging behavior by a primary stored product pest, Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Department of Agriculture —
Our goals with this dataset were to 1) isolate, culture, and identify two fungal life stages of Aspergillus flavus, 2) characterize the volatile emissions from grain... -
