Functional trait mismatch between native and introduced bee pollinators servicing a global fruit crop

Diversity’s link to ecosystem services, like pollination, can be better understood with a shift from focusing on species richness to functional trait-based approaches, which can provide more insight, particularly when paired with comparative phylogenetics. Here, we assessed the functional ecology and phylogenetic diversity of hymenopterans visiting apple flowers in orchards surrounded by either ‘natural’ or ‘disturbed’ landscapes. We investigated whether morphological and behavioural traits (hairiness, body size, glossa length, pollen load purity, and probability of loose pollen) exhibited non-random phylogenetic patterns. Then, explored whether bees, the primary pollinators in this system, filled unique or overlapping functional entities (FEs). For each landscape, we calculated phylogenetic diversity and used FEs to assess functional richness, evenness, and diversion. A phylogenomic matrix based on ultraconserved elements (UCEs; 1,382,620 bp from 1,969 loci) was used to infer a fully r..., , , # Functional trait mismatch between native and introduced bee pollinators servicing a global fruit crop

## Description of the data and file structure

1. aln-short-final.phy - Aligned bp sequence data for 48 Hymenopteran morphospecies obtained from ultra-conserved element phylogenomics (1,382,620 DNA nucleotide base pairs from 1,969 loci).
2. bee_traits.pl.csv - Trait matrix of three functional traits (body size as measured by ITD, glossa length, and hairiness) for the bee morphospecies documented visiting Pink Lady apple flower (NSW, Australia) rounded to the nearest integer. Columns include Morphospecies (the morphospecies identity for each of the 17 bee morphospecies included in analyses), ITD (in mm; Inter-tegular distance, the distance between an insect'...
