Data from "Ecology dictates the value of memory for foraging bees"

Data from "Ecology dictates the value of memory for foraging bees". <br> Methods <br> Briefly, experiments utilised a lab-to-field approach to assess how the short term memory (STM) of bees influences individual foraging efficiency across the foraging season (April-October). See publication for full details. <br> Data sets <br> <em>ram_score_data</em> – ram peformanced data for each bee; description of data included in file. <br> <em>nectar_foraging_data – </em>nectar foraging data for each STM-tested bee; description of data included in file. <br> <em>pollen_foraging_data – </em>pollen foraging data for each STM-tested bee; description of data included in file. <br> <em>survival_data</em> – number of days survived by STM-tested bees; description of data included in file. <br> <em>lifetime_foraging_data</em> – number of foraging trips per bee over its career, recorded using RFID; description of data included in file. <br> <em>control_bee_comparison_nectar </em>– nectar data used in comparisons of foraging efficiency between STM-nested and control (non-tested) bees; description of data included in file. <br> <em>control_bee_comparison_pollen </em>– pollen data used in comparisons of foraging efficiency between STM-nested and control (non-tested) bees; description of data included in file. <br> <em>control_bee_comparison_survival </em>– survival data used in comparisons of survival between STM-nested and control (non-tested) bees; description of data included in file. <br> <em>floral_data</em> – generic richness data across season; description of data included in file. <br> <em>gross_foraging_data</em> – gross nectar and pollen foraging data, and bout duration; description of data included in file. <br> <em>ram_validation </em>– simulated performance of bees completing an eight-arm maze using chance of stereotyped movement rules; description of data included in file; description of data included in file. <br> <em>pollen_genera</em> – number of pollen identified from bee collected pollen per week of experiment. <br> Original code <br> All R analysis code and output provided for each analysis performed (on above data); every file is fully annotated.
