Data for Shackleton et al. (2016) Ecology and Evolution

Data for Shackleton et al. 2016. Quality versus quantity: Foraging decisions in the honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata) feeding on wildflower nectar and fruit juice. Ecology and Evolution (accepted). Sheet 1 has data for bees gaining weight while foraging on three resources. Sheet 2 has data for crop sugar contents of foraging bees on three resources. Sheet 3 has data for the visitation rate of foraging bees on three resources. Sheet 4 has data for the time budgets of foraging bees on three resources. Sheet 5 has weight and crop sugar concentration data for bees returning to hives. Sheet 6 has data for the number of foragers throughout the day on three resources.

本数据集配套Shackleton等人2016年的研究《质量与数量：取食野生花蜜与果汁的西方蜜蜂（Apis mellifera scutellata）的觅食决策》，该研究已被《Ecology and Evolution》录用待刊。其中，工作表1收录了在三种觅食资源上体重增长的蜜蜂相关数据；工作表2收录了在三种资源上觅食的工蜂的蜜囊含糖量数据；工作表3收录了在三种资源上觅食的工蜂的访花频率数据；工作表4收录了在三种资源上觅食的工蜂的时间分配数据；工作表5收录了返巢蜜蜂的体重与蜜囊糖浓度数据；工作表6收录了三种资源条件下全天的觅食蜂数量数据。
