Spruce Bark Beetle Developmental Stage and Phenology Data from Ulaanbaatar

Developmental stage and phenology data for the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, collected from windthrown trees in the Greenzone of Ulaanbaatar. The dataset includes observations of life stage progression, temperature, and microhabitat conditions during a summer period. Data were collected by Bat-Amgalan Batchudur and last updated on 2026-05-22.

Use Cases

• Modeling insect development rates based on temperature and microhabitat conditions mentioned in the description
• Analyzing fine-scale variation in beetle life stage progression within individual host trees
• Assessing the influence of environmental factors on bark beetle phenology for ecological research

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a manuscript, suggesting a defined research context.
• Data includes multiple observed variables: life stage, temperature, and microhabitat conditions.
• File size is 123.0 KB, indicating a focused and likely manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single study location in Ulaanbaatar.
