Database on arthropod capture attempts and floral visits by hummingbirds

This database shows the number of arthropod capture attempts and flower visits by the members of a hummingbird ensemble that lives in a seasonal ecosystem of West Mexico (Nevado de Colima volcano) at 4260 m a. s. l. Foraging data were collected during the warm-dry (May 2016), rainy (September 2016), and cold-dry (February 2017) seasons using the ad libitum sampling method (54 hours/season). Data presented are 1) hummingbird species, 2) sex, 3) number of arthropod capture attempts, 4) number of floral visits, 5) total time of observation, and 6) the time of day when the observation was made.本数据集记录了栖息于墨西哥西部科利马火山内华达峰（Nevado de Colima volcano）海拔4260米季节性生态系统中的蜂鸟集群个体的节肢动物（arthropod）捕食尝试次数与访花次数；觅食数据采集于2016年暖干季（5月）、2016年雨季（9月）与2017年冷干季（2月），采用随意取样法（ad libitum sampling）开展，每季采样时长为54小时；本数据集包含以下6项信息：1）蜂鸟物种，2）个体性别，3）节肢动物捕食尝试次数，4）访花次数，5）总观测时长，6）观测当日时段。
