Data Release for "Cavity-nesting bee nesting success across gradients of floral resources and land-cover"

We measured nesting rates and nesting success for a community of cavity-nesting bees across gradients of floral abundance, floral richness, and land-cover in the Prairie Pothole Region. Variables in this dataset include a unique transect identifier, a count of the occupied nests per transect, total floral species richness per transect, total floral stem abundance per transect, bee species richness, number of emerged adult bees per transect, and the proportion of those emerged bees which were female. In addition, there are land-cover measurements of the total area, in hectares, of grasslands, wetlands, and woodlands within 500m and 1500m of each transect. We binned land-covers from the 2019 National Agricultural Statistics Service Cropland Data Layer into our definitions of grasslands (Other Hay/Non Alfalfa, Sod/Grass Seed, Fallow/Idle Cropland, and Grassland/Pasture), wetlands (Woody Wetlands and Herbaceous Wetlands), and woodlands (Deciduous Forest, Evergreen Forest, and Shrubland).
