Seasonality and dietary diversity in flower and fruit consumption: long-term dataset from a New Zealand Wildlife Reserve (online supplementary material)

Dataset containing monthly records of bird-flower and bird-fruit visitation collected by Dr KC Burns in Zealandia wildlife reserve in Wellington, New Zealand, observed between January 2006 and April 2015. The datasets are supplementary materials for Vaishnav and Burns (in review, New Zealand Journal of Ecology). The dataset titled "Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Plants" contains monthly summaries of flower and fruit visitation by native birds to 25 native plant species. The dataset titled "Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Birds" contains monthly summaries of flower and fruit visitation by eight native bird to native plants. The sheets titled "Summary" in both datasets provide the cumulative monthly counts of bird-flower and bird-fruit visits, and the other sheets provide monthly counts of bird-flower and bird-fruit visits segregated by bird and plant species, respectively. The sheets titled "Not in analyses" are interactions which were recorded in the dataset but excluded form the analysis since there were fewer than three observations for each species per food type (flower or fruit). The dataset titled "Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Exotics" contains records of flower and fruit visits for non-native birds and plants that were also excluded from the analyses.

本数据集收录了新西兰惠灵顿西兰蒂亚野生动物保护区（Zealandia wildlife reserve）KC·伯恩斯博士于2006年1月至2015年4月期间观测收集的鸟类访花与访果月度记录。该数据集为Vaishnav与伯恩斯（投稿于《新西兰生态学杂志》(New Zealand Journal of Ecology)，目前处于审稿阶段）的补充研究材料。其中命名为Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Plants的数据集，包含本土鸟类对25种本土植物的访花、访果月度汇总数据；命名为Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Birds的数据集，则包含8种本土鸟类对本土植物的访花、访果月度汇总数据。两个数据集内均设有名为“Summary”的工作表，用于统计鸟类访花、访果的累计月度总次数；其余工作表分别按鸟类物种与植物物种分类，提供对应单月的访花、访果细分计数。名为“Not in analyses”的工作表所记录的交互数据，因每类食物类型（花或果）对应的单个物种种群观测次数少于3次，被排除于本次分析之外。另有命名为Vaishnav&Burns2025_Dataset_Exotics的数据集，收录了非本土鸟类与非本土植物的访花、访果记录，此类数据同样未纳入本次分析。
