Summary

This record contains three zip files of data. First, for the file treeGeneticISSRData, the data consists of genetic ISSR band scores. Two sets of trees were sampled for genetic analyses - large trees surviving mountain pine beetle and 'general population' trees that we just a little to small to be attacked that served as a proxy for the population without beetle selection. Second, for the file Treegrowthdata_, this dataset includes files that record tree ring widths of trees by year from two sites, Vipond Park and Lacey Creek, in Montana. Third, the file monoterpeneConcentrationsData contains spreadsheets of monoterpene concentrations from surviving and susceptible whitebark pine after a mountain pine beetle outbreak at Vipond Park, [...]

Purpose

Growth data was to compare growth rates of trees selected by mountain pine beetle with those that survived. Monoterpene concentrations were collected to determine if pines that are not attacked by mountain pine beetle differ in defensive chemistry. For comparisons of pine defenses within and among populations. Genetic data was collected to assess whether survivors are genetically different than those selected by mountain pine beetle indicating a capacity for adaptation over time to beetle presence and increasing drought.
