Plant and pollinator interactions from British Columbia from Oak Savannah, Shrub-Steppe, and restored hedgerows

This dataset contains the data analyzed in "Guzman, L.M.,
Chamberlain, S. and Elle, E. (2021) Network robustness and
structure depends on the phenological characteristics of plants and
pollinators. Ecology and Evolution" The data comprises
plant-pollinator interactions collected in three ecosystems (Oak Savannah,
Shrub-Steppe and restored hedgerows) from British Columbia. These
three vegetation types comprised three different studies. The
average distance between sites within studies was 19km, 18km and 29km for
the oak savannah, shrub-steppe and hedgerows respectively. For simplicity
we use “pollinator” throughout this paper to refer to insects and
hummingbirds observed visiting flowers and contacting reproductive organs,
although their effectiveness at transfer of pollen has not been
assessed.  The networks were comprised largely of bees, with
wasps and hoverflies also common.  Less common were butterflies
and beetles.  The plants were largely forbs with some
shrubs;  insect-pollinated trees were not sampled for largely
logistical reasons of tree height but tended to be uncommon in these
ecosystems.
