These data are species lists for each study setting (i.e. MI blueberry, MI Cherry, Oregon, blueberry, and California watermelon). The data present two main pieces of information: (1) species occurrence and abundance &amp; (2) species functional traits.<br><br><br>The occurrence of each species is denoted by a '1' for each site type ('EE" = enhanced edge, 'CE' = control edge, 'EC' = enhanced crop, 'CC' = control crop). The column 'Abund' gives to total nujmber of specimens collected across these site types for both years (2015 &amp; 2016).<br>The functional traits are lecty, sociality, nest location and intertegular distance (ITD, a body size metric). The first 3 traits are categorical, their categories are:<br><b>Lecty</b> - polylectic ('pol') or oligolectic ('oli')<b>Sociality</b> - solitary ('sol'), social ('soc'), or faculatively social ('fac')<b>Nest location</b> - soil, stem, cavity, wood<b><br></b><b>ITD</b> is given in mm.<br>The categorization of these traits follows other published resources (see Methods and Appendices in Nicholson et al 2019 <i>Ecology Letters</i>). For some species traits have not been published and these are given a 'NA' value.<br>
