Environmental Data: Niche partitioning between wild bees and honeybees

Description

Cities are socio-ecological systems that filter and select species, thus establishing unique species assemblages and biotic interactions. Urban ecosystems ...

• The data contains the following columns: SiteID: numeric, the identity of the garden where the bee was sampled. Taxonname: character, species name Lecty: numeric discreet, a mesure of specialisation degree. Levels: 1 = monolectic; 2=oliolectic; 3=polilectic Pheno.start= numeric discreet, the starting week of the flying activity. Pheno.end= numeric discreet, the ending week of the flying activity. Pheno.duration=numeric discreet, Pheno.end - Pheno.start Daytime.activity = numeric continuous, individual-level measure of the day hour when the bee was sampled ITD = numeric continuous, individual-level measure of the InterTegular Distance, a metric of mobility in mm. Rel.tongue.length =numeric continuous, individual-level measure of the relative tongue length (Tongue length / ITD), a metric of specilaisation degree, in mm.

• Mean, standard deviation , minimum and maximum values of six functional traits. The data has the following structure: - Bee_species: bee scientific name - mean_trait: mean value - sd_trait: standard deviation _min_trait: minimum value - max_trait: maximum value - trait: the six traits used. ITD = Intertegular distance (mm); Pheno.duration = duration of the phenology; Pheno.start = start of the phenology; Pheno.end = end of the phenology; Rel.tongue.length= relative tongue length (mm); Daytime.activity = daily activity (h) DistNichePart: functional dissimilarity in a multidimentional trait space defined by five traits between wild bee individuals of a wild bee species and the honeybee individuals. Values are at the species level.
