Interpretive Summary: Seven data files collected on different physiological traits of 13 western corn rootworm lab colonies (genetic lines) from Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Technical Abstract: Seven .csv files from data collected on different thermal tolerance traits of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera. Traits include critical thermal maxima and minima (CTmax and CTmin), knock-down resistance, and chill coma recovery from 13 lab colonies (genetic lines) that were collected initially between 1994 to 2013 in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Files also include Metadata, site coordinates estimated as the centroid of county where collection occurred, and environmental correlates for each rootworm line from Worldclim.
