Polllen preference score and interactions

This excel file contains the preference score of each bee species that is/will be modelled in ALMaSS. Each pollen score was calculated according to the following strategy: 1. Plant-pollinator interactions will set the baseline for the pollen preference. If a pollinator has never interacted with the plant species, a preference score of 0 is set and no further analysis is performed. If a pollinator interacts with a particular plant species, a score of 1 is assigned.2. The P:L ratio is then applied according to the literature data on pollinator preferences. If the P:L ratio is within the range of pollinator preferences, a score of 1 is added and the plant species will have a higher preference value (2). If not, it retains the same score as before (1).3. The minerals content is then used by giving preference to lower K:Na ratios. Taking into account the plant species visited by the pollinator (point 1), and that bees prefer to visit plants with a lower K:Na ratio, plant species with K:Na ratio lower than the mean are given a score of 1. Plant species with higher than the mean K:Na ratio do not receive any score. In the end, each plant species can have a score from 0 to 3, which determines the level of preference of the pollinator: 0 = no interaction, 1 = poorly preferred, 2 = moderately preferred and 3 = Strongly preferred.Since was not possible to use the nutritional approach for the other species that are being modelled (<i>Eristalis tenax, Sphaerophoria scripta, Noctua pronuba </i>and<i> Pieris napi</i>), the excel file only contains the presence/absence data of interactions.
