Dataset of host records for introduced parasitoid wasp species (Hymenoptera) in New Zealand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The introduction of species to new regions is occurring at an increasing rate. These introductions typically consist of species that are deliberately introduced for the purposes of biological control of pests or of species that are accidentally introduced through human-mediated transport networks.Understanding the potential and actual impacts of these introduced species requires comprehensive information on their geographic distributions and biological associations.However, apart from a few well-known case studies, such information is lacking for many introduced species which severely hinders further assessment of risks and impact.

New information

A dataset is provided on host associations, geographic distributions and dates of collection for both deliberately and
