Impact of Avian Predation on Spruce Budworm

Impact of Avian Predation on Spruce Budworm This dataset is associated with the article authored by Jacques Régnière, Lisa Venier and Dan Welsh entitled "Avian predation in a declining outbreak population of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)" which will be published in the "Insects" scientific journal. The impact of avian predation on a declining population of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumifereana (Clem.), was measured using single-tree exclosure cages in a mature stand of balsam fir, Abies balsamea (L.), and white spruce, Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss. Bird population censuses and observations of foraging and nest-feeding activity were also made to determine the response of budworm-linked species to decreasing food availability. 2021-12-07 Natural Resources Canada jacques.regniere@canada.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyEntomologySpruce budworm Data on Spruce Budworm (English)XLSX https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0cf57b1e-a136-48f3-a7b5-34749406dfae/resource/3887d17d-0e08-4937-a5d0-1164c39fd8b1/download/regnierevenierwelsh_2021_budworm_data.xlsx Data on Birds (English)XLSX https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0cf57b1e-a136-48f3-a7b5-34749406dfae/resource/ad8e2f14-8804-432c-8a5d-82d2174b30bb/download/regnierevenierwelsh_2021_bird_data.xlsx Data on Spruce budworm (French)XLSX https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0cf57b1e-a136-48f3-a7b5-34749406dfae/resource/4695e5a9-1e3d-466e-9aa7-7f937c5b49a7/download/regnierevenierwelsh_2021_donnees_tordeuse.xlsx Data on Birds (French)XLSX https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0cf57b1e-a136-48f3-a7b5-34749406dfae/resource/5cee1f69-d092-4f88-9296-b7bd99a4cbeb/download/regnierevenierwelsh_2021_donnees_oiseaux.xlsx
