Osmia ribifloris temperature experiment responses

These data represent the responses of the solitary bee Osmia ribifloris (Megachilidae) to experimental temperature conditions applied in the field. The experimental temperature treatments represent previous, cooler conditions (cooling), future warmer conditions (warming) and current temperature conditions (control). This field experiment was conducted in the Santa Catalina Mountains outside of Tucson, Arizona, USA. Each row within the data file represents the responses of an individual bee emerging from a nest. The responses in this data file include: emergence_date = the date on which the bee was observed emerging from the nest; emergence_day_of_year = the date (as day of year, where 1 = 1 January) that the bee was observed emerging from the nest; treatment = the experimental temperature treatment (control, cooling, warming); exp_block = the experimental block the nest was part of (this information combined with treatment information represents a unique nest box identification); hole_num = the nest number within each nest box (1=top, 2=middle, 3=bottom); bee_num = an identification number for each bee that emerged (more than one bee can emerge on the same date); sex = the sex of the bee (when not listed as male or female, this means sex could not be determined and instead the developmental stage was included if possible); mass_g = the dry mass of the adult bee in grams; mass_mg = the dry mass of the adult bee in milligrams; mortality = whether the bee died under the experimental conditions (0 = alive, 1 = dead).
