AmegillaObservations.xlsx

This study aimed to assess whether urbanisation influences the seasonality of Amegilla spp. by comparing their monthly presence in urban and non-urban environments across southeastern Australia. Observational records were obtained from the citizen science platform iNaturalist, filtered for records within the genus Amegilla between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2024.Only research-grade observations (i.e. those confirmed by at least two users and georeferenced) were included. All records included metadata on observation date, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and identified species. While most observations were Amegilla cingulata, the analysis was conducted at the genus level (Amegilla spp.) to maximise sample size and generalisability.<br>
