Specimens examined Twenty-three species of flies were assessed in this study. Specimens were obtained from the AgVic Victorian Agricultural Insect Collection (VAIC) or from recently trapped flies collected from northern Australia, through the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) Northern Australian Quarantine Strategy (NAQS) program. Species were initially identified morphologically using published literature1,2,17. […] More

Cardinal temperature data collection Minimum (Tmin), optimum (Topt) and maximum (Tmax) temperatures (collectively ‘cardinal temperatures’) of five life-cycle processes (DD, FR, IN, SG and SP), as well as GC (collectively ‘biological processes’), were extracted and thence digitized from ref. 15 for fungi and oomycete species. Biological processes such as wood decay, spore discharge, enzyme production, […] More

Beetle collection Donaciinae species were collected as adult beetles in and around ponds and lakes in Germany, France, Japan, and the USA between 2005 and 2019 (Supplementary Table 1). Only the species Macroplea appendiculata was collected as larvae. DNA extraction The symbiont containing organs of adult female beetles were dissected and stored at −80 °C. For the […] More
