Data of insect visitors to oil palm inflorescence in an oil palm plantation in Peninsular Malaysia

This dataset presents the frequency on visitations by the insects to the anthesising oil palm inflorescences in an oil palm plantation in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. Although insects are known as the pollinators to the oil palm trees, only the one that visits both the staminate and pistillate inflorescences however, showed the potential to act as pollinator. The visitation frequencies of each insect visitor are useful to assess the effectiveness of these insects as pollinators.本数据集记录了马来西亚半岛登嘉楼州一处油棕（oil palm）种植园中，昆虫对处于开花期的油棕花序（inflorescences）的访问频率。尽管已知昆虫为油棕的传粉者，但唯有同时造访雄花序（staminate inflorescences）与雌花序（pistillate inflorescences）的昆虫，才具备作为油棕传粉者的潜力。各类昆虫访客的访问频率，可用于评估这些昆虫作为传粉者的传粉效能。
