Abstract:

Data describing the development and survival of gypsy moths (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) from all three subspecies on 13 North American conifers and 3 broad leaf hosts were collected (Keena and Richards 2020). Populations from the United States and Greece served as the Lymantria dispar dispar controls for comparison with the Asian strains from the L. d. asiatica (populations from China, Russia, and South Korea) and L. d. japonica (population from Japan) subspecies. The hosts compared were Acer rubrum, Betula populifolia, Quercus velutina, Pinus strobus, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Abies balsamea, Abies concolor, Larix occidentalis, Picea glauca, Picea pungens, Pinus ponderosa, Pinus taeda, Pinus palustris, Pinus rigida, Tsuga canadensis, and Juniperus virginiana.
