Insect visits to cherry blossoms and wildflowers in sweet cherry orchards: datasets and R scripts

This repository contains a number of datasets, all collected in commercial sweet cherry orchards in the West Midlands, UK between 2017-2019. Alleyways in these orchards were sown with native perennial plant species. Datasets include:

- cherry blossom and wildflower visitors recorded on pollinator transect surveys.
- fruit set and quality (in 2019) from cherry blossoms which were either exposed to insects, insect-excluded, or hand-pollinated.

Additionally, all the scripts to analyse these datasets using the software R are also included.
