Data_transect

The dataset contains data collected during transects conducted in apple orchards and adjacent flower plantings. It documents plant-pollinator interactions.The data gives the number of flower visits by Apis mellifera, bumblebees, other bees, wasp and hornet, syrphid, other diptera, lepidoptera, coleoptera, ants, hemiptera and other insects per transect and per flower speciers. A flower visit is defined as a contact between an insect and a flower.The dataset is related to the publication: Bridoux, E., Desaegher, J., Allier, F., Decourtye, A., Leilde, R., Guigne, E., Requier, F., 2026.
