物种相互作用的数据库有助于探索和理解物种的空间分布及其生物相互作用。在开展这些项目的过程中，数据开发和管理工作可能会产生一种数据产品，其效用超出了原始工作的范围，但随着时间的推移，这种产品变得无法使用。描述昆虫宿主-病原体相互作用的数据相当罕见，因此应该用适当的元数据保存和管理。在这里，我们介绍了insectDisease R包，一种用于管理，更新和分发来自世界昆虫病原体生态数据库的数据的机制，该数据库是昆虫宿主-病原体协会的数据库，包括昆虫宿主和病原体（细菌，真菌，线虫，原生动物和病毒）的尝试接种和感染结果。自成立以来，该数据集已被用于多个项目，但由于没有一个定义明确、精心策划和永久的存储库，其存在和访问仅限于口碑连接。本文介绍的当前工作旨在提供一种手段，以文件化和版本化的格式保存、扩充和传播数据库。该项目是在原始资金消失后维持有价值的数据库所需努力类型的一个例子。
Curated databases of species interactions are instrumental to exploring and understanding the spatial distribution of species and their biotic interactions. In the process of conducting such projects, data development and curation efforts may give rise to a data product with utility beyond the scope of the original work, but which becomes inaccessible over time. Data describing insect host–pathogen interactions are fairly rare, and should thus be preserved and curated with appropriate metadata. Here, we introduce the insectDisease R package, a mechanism for curating, updating and distributing data from the Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens, a database of insect host–pathogen associations, including attempted inoculations and infection outcomes for insect hosts and pathogens (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, protozoans and viruses). This dataset has been utilized for several projects since its inception, but without a well‐defined, curated and permanent repository, its existence and access have been limited to word‐of‐mouth connections. The current effort presented here aims to provide a means to preserve, augment and disseminate the database in a documented and versioned format. This project is an example of the type of effort that will be necessary to maintain valuable databases after the original funding disappears.
