Survey of aspen leaf mining and leaf defenses, including foliar phenolic glycosides and extrafloral nectaries

This dataset characterizes the insect damage levels and chemical defenses of aspen (Populus tremuloides) leaves collected from multiple sites near Fairbanks, Alaska in June 2007. The intent of the data set was to relate leaf mining damage by the aspen leaf miner, Phyllocnistis populiella, to the concentration of phenolic glycosides (secondary metabolites; putative defensive compounds) in leaves.
