title: Data from: High foraging fidelity and plant-pollinator network dominance of non-native honeybees (Apis mellifera) in the Ecuadorian Andes

description: These data reflect the floral visitor survey and mark-recapture efforts
 used in the 2022 study, "High Foraging Fidelity and Plant‑Pollinator
 Network Dominance of Non‑native Honeybees (Apis mellifera) in the
 Ecuadorian Andes"
description: Hymenoptera were netted along four transects at the study site in
 Ecuador. Data were collected for both a mark-recapture study and a timed
 all Hymenoptera survey of floral visiting taxa.  For details on the
 methods, please refer to the published study.
description: This dataset is from the manuscript "High foraging fidelity and
 plant-pollinator network dominance of non-native honey bees (Apis
 mellifera) in the Ecuadorian Andes" and provides the details of the
 floral visitors, and the plants they were collected on. Worksheet Data
 all.visit = this worksheet shows all pooled floral visitation data for
 both experiments (Survey and Mark.recapture) freq.and.abund = this
 worksheet has frequency and relative abundance plant data from the floral
 visitor survey visitor.rel.abund relative = this worksheet has the
 abundance floral visitor data from the floral visitor survey **all.visit
 worksheet** Experiment =  identifies which experiment the data were
 collected in (Survey or Mark.recapture) Date =  date when observation was
 made Date.num =  numeric order of observations Time =  time of day
 (morning, midday, afternoon) Transect =  transect ID Visitor.taxa = 
 species of floral visitor Flower =   taxonomic ID of the flowering plant
 off of which the floral visitor was collected **freq.and.abund worksheet**
 Transect =  transect ID Flower =  taxonomic ID of the flowering plant off
 of which the floral visitor was collected Flower.short =  abbreviated name
 of flowering plant species tot.visitors =  total number of individual
 floral visitors observed visiting that plant species in that transect
 visitor.diversity =  species richness of floral visitors to that plant
 species in that transect tot.obs =  total number of observations to any
 plant in that transect tot.visitor.diversity =  total species richness of
 floral visitors in that transect Visit.frequency =  total number of
 individual floral visitors to that species (tot.visitors)/total number of
 observations (tot.obs) percent.diversity = 
 visitor.diversity/tot.visitor.diversity n.plants.transect =  number of
 plants of that plant species visited along the transect num.open.flowers
 =  total number of open flowers of that plant species along the transect
 tot.plants =  total number of all plants (summed across all species) along
 the transect tot.open.flowers=  total number of open flowers (summed
 across all species) along the transect rel.abund.flower =  relative
 abundance of open flowers along the transect calculated by:
 num.open.flowers/tot.open.flowers rel.abund.plant =  relative abundance of
 plants along the transect calculated by: n.plants.transect/tot.plants
 **visitor.rel.abund worksheet** Visitor.taxa =  species of floral visitor
 Transect =  transect ID Flower =  taxonomic ID of the flowering plant off
 of which the floral visitor was collected vis.abund =  abundance of that
 species of floral visitors observed visiting that plant species in that
 transect tot.visitors =  total number of visitors of any insect species to
 that specific species of plant rel.abund.vis =  relative abundance of
 visitors calculated by: 100*vis.abund/tot.visitors
