This is an archive of the data used in the publication: Ogilvie JE, Griffin SR, Gezon ZJ, Inouye BD, Underwood N, Inouye DW, Irwin RE. 2017. Interannual bumble bee abundance is driven by indirect climate effects on floral resource phenology. Ecology Letters, doi: 10.1111/ele.12854<br>DATA DESCRIPTION<br><br><b>Bombus_floral_climate_data_for_SEMs.csv</b><br><b><br></b>This file has the 2009-2016 data used in the structural equation models. <i><b>peak.bee.count</b></i> is the annual peak number of bumble bees netted from flowers on a sampling day. <i><b>sampling.time.hr</b></i> is the amount of time in hours that a site was sampled on the peak abundance sampling day. <i><b>floral.sum</b></i> is the sum of flowers from first flower accumulated to 80% of the season's total flower count. <b><i>number.floral.days</i></b> is the number of days above a low flower threshold of 0.75 flowers/m² (or 3 flowers per 2 x 2 m plot). Flowers were counted within 30 2 x 2 m plots (120 m²) every two days. <b><i>may.to.july.precip.cm</i></b> is the amount of precipitation (snow and rain) from May 1 through to the end of July in cm water content (measured at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, RMBL). <i><b>snowmelt.doy</b></i> is the day of year that a 5 x 5 m plot was bare of snow.<br><b>Longterm_climate_floral_data.csv</b><br><br>This file has the data used to examine long-term trends in the climate and floral variables, 1974-2016. <i><b>snowmelt.doy</b></i> is the day of year that a 5 x 5 m plot was bare of snow. <b><i>may.to.july.precip.cm</i></b> is the amount of precipitation (snow and rain) from May 1 through to the end of July in cm water content (measured at Crested Butte). <i><b>floral.sum</b></i> is the sum of flowers from first flower accumulated to 80% of the season's total flower count. <b><i>number.floral.days</i></b> is the number of days above a low flower threshold of 0.75 flowers/m² (or 3 flowers per 2 x 2 m plot). Flowers were counted within 23 2 x 2 m plots (92 m²) every two days. There are separate floral variables for the three bumble bee species.<br>Please see the original paper for additional details.
