Hawaiʹi’s most widespread native tree, ʹōhiʹa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha), has been dying across large areas of Hawaiʹi Island mainly due to two fungal pathogens (Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia) that cause a disease collectively known as Rapid ʹŌhiʹa Death (ROD). Here we examine patterns of positive detections of C. lukuohia as it has been linked to the larger mortality events across Hawaiʹi Island. Our analysis compares the environmental range of C. lukuohia and its spread over time through the known climatic range and distribution of ʹōhiʹa. This data set is a georeferenced raster file, containing the projected potential presence of C.lukuohia across the main Hawaiian Islands using climatic...

Rapid ʽŌhiʽa Death (ROD) currently threatens ōhiʽa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) on Hawaiʽi Island. First identified in Puna in 2014, the disease has now spread island wide. Besides direct sampling of trees, environmental sampling could serve as an easier and broader strategy to detect Ceratocystis spp., the fungi causing ROD. Environmental sampling could also help monitor the effect of felling ROD infected trees. We developed Passive and Active Environmental Samplers and deployed them at a property in Puna, where both C. lukuohia, and C. huliohia had been detected, and where the land owner practiced the management method of felling infected trees. We set up 2 Active Environmental Samplers (modified mosquito traps...

Vegetation and ‘ōhi‘a mortality data collected during the 2016 survey of lower Puna District, Hawai`i. Data were collected at points along rural highways, secondary roads and residential streets where trained observers recorded the vegetation within a 50 m radius using the Jacobi (1989) rapid assessment. This description included tree crown cover, tree height, tree species composition, and ground cover or understory type. In addition, the proportion of dead ‘ōhi‘a was estimated, in 5% intervals, for each quarter of the station starting with the NE quadrant and proceeding counter clockwise.

These data provide geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and elevation of Passive Environmental Samplers (PES) that were deployed to detect airborne propagules of the invasive fungi that cause Rapid Ohia Death (Ceratocystis lukuohia and C. huliohia) and Ohia Rust (Austropuccina psidii).

Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection tools are becoming increasingly popular for documenting occurrence and distribution of native and invasive species. These tools can allow early detection of new diseases and invasive species and provide critical information for land management. We designed two new samplers for monitoring airborne particulates, including fungal and fern spores and plant pollen, that rely on natural wind currents (Passive Environmental Sampler) or a battery operated fan (Active Environmental Sampler). This dataset contains results of an experiment that was designed to determine probability of detecting known numbers of Ceratocystis lukuohia spores on individual slides in these samplers.

These data include metadata and associated data files associated with the manuscript, "Economical Environmental Sampler Designs for Detecting Airborne Spread of Fungi Responsible for Rapid ʽŌhiʽa Death." These data include a total of 8 datasets used for both controlled and field studies evaluating the use of Active (with battery operated fan) and Passive (dependent on wind) USGS Environmental Samplers on Hawaii Island between 2016-2018. Samplers were operated under controlled laboratory and field conditions with a commercial sampler (Rotorod® Model 20) to compare efficacy in capturing synthetic polyethylene spheres (12 - 160 µm in diameter) and also Xyleborus spp. boring dust (frass) known to contain the fungi responsible...

We designed two new samplers for monitoring airborne particulates, including fungal and fern spores and plant pollen, that rely on natural wind currents (Passive Environmental Sampler) or a battery operated fan (Active Environmental Sampler). Both samplers are modeled after commercial devices such as the Rotorod® and the Burkard samplers, but are more economical and require less maintenance than commercial devices. We compared our two new samplers to Rotorod® samplers using Xyleborus spp. boring dust known to contain ROD causing pathogens. The comparison was done in a large outdoor field cage to determine relative effectiveness of the three samplers for capturing windblown boring dust. The dataset contains results...

These data contain the results of ʻōhiʻa seedlings challenged with different ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species that were exposed to either Ceratocystis lukuohia or Ceratocystis huliohia in culture. Disease development, viability, and DNA confirmation data were recorded.

This data release includes metadata and tabular datasets that document (1) Ceratocystis qPCR DNA detections in Passive Environmental Samplers (PES), (2) Ceratocystis qPCR DNA detections after pre-amplification, (3) wood and frass particle counts detected in PES (4) location of individual PES within the study area (5) ambrosia beetle gallery counts on felled ʻōhiʻa (6) ambrosia beetle gallery counts on insecticide treated bolts and (7) ambrosia beetles trapped in cross-vein panel traps.

These data contain the frass and wood particle presence information which was collected using Passive Environmental Samplers at Waipunalei. Frass is defined as boring dust created by ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) during tunnel excavation which includes fine sawdust material, beetle feces, and dead beetle body parts.

These data contain ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) trapping data using two different repellents in two different trials at Waiākea Forest Reserve. Beetles were trapped using cross vane panel traps equipped with 50:50 Ethanol:Methanol lures in the first trial and with black panel multi-traps equipped with 100% Ethanol lures in the second trial. Both trials tested the ability of two different beetle repellents, one verbenone formulation, and one verbnone + methyl salicylate, to deter beetle catch.
