DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT : The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION : TABLE S1. List of tree species and their respective families found in all 51 monitoring plots. Summaries are presented for mean (± SE) diameter at breast height (cm), the percentage of trees of each species out of all trees of all species (dominance), polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) breeding host or not, the percentage of trees that were infested by PSHB, the percentage increase of infested trees from sampling period 1–4, and the percentage increase in the number of holes from sampling period 1–4.
TABLE S2. All tree species found in 10 polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) monitoring plots set out at the George Botanical Garden's. Presented is the dominance (% of all trees encountered), the number of trees infested with PSHB (% of infested trees of that species), and the average diameter at breast height (cm) of each species encountered.
TABLE S3. Test table showing sample size (n), χ2 statistic, P, and Yates correction P for the preferential colonization of polyphagous shot hole borer between tree species.
