Data and code from: Incorporating pollinator movement into connectivity models predicts pollen-mediated gene flow and highlights the importance of regenerating forests in tropical landscapes

Pollen-mediated gene flow is crucial for ecological and evolutionary processes, and understanding its disruption by anthropogenic disturbances is essential for conservation. In this study, we developed landscape connectivity metrics that incorporated hummingbird movement behaviour to assess how structural (amount and configuration) and functional (species-specific behavioural response) landscape connectivity influences pollen-mediated gene flow in a tropical plant species. We adapted the incidence function model (IFM) to develop a set of functional landscape connectivity metrics that integrated pollinator movement behaviour. We evaluated whether these metrics outperform structural landscape connectivity metrics for explaining contemporary pollen-mediated gene flow. The performance of landscape connectivity metrics as predictors of contemporary pollen-mediated gene flow is scale dependent. At the focal patch scale, pollen-mediated gene flow was better predicted by structural connectivity..., , # Data and code from: Incorporating pollinator movement into connectivity models predicts pollen-mediated gene flow and highlights the importance of regenerating forests in tropical landscapes Dataset DOI: [10.5061/dryad.3ffbg7b08](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.3ffbg7b08) ## Description of the data and file structure This dataset was collected to evaluate how structural and functional components of landscape connectivity influence contemporary pollen-mediated gene flow in *Heliconia tortuosa* (Heliconiaceae), a hummingbird-pollinated tropical plant. We developed landscape connectivity metrics by adapting the Incidence Function Model to integrate habitat configuration with empirical data on pollinator movement behaviour, including daily flight distance, home range length, and gap-crossing probability. Connectivity was quantified at two spatial scales: within focal habitat patches and across the surrounding 1 km landscape (corresponding to the maximum daily movement range of hummingbir..., ,
