Data from: Evaluating the taxa that provide shared pollination services across multiple crops and regions

Zusammenfassung: | Many pollinator species visit multiple crops in multiple regions, yet we
know little about their pollination service provisioning at local and
regional scales. We investigated the floral visitors (n = 13,200), their
effectiveness (n = 1718 single visits) and response to landscape
composition across three crops avocado, mango and macadamia within a
single growing region (1 year), a single crop (3 years) and across
different growing regions in multiple years. In total, eight wild visitor
groups were shared across all three crops. The network was dominated by
three pollinators, two bees (Apis mellifera and Tetragonula spp.) and a
fly, Stomorhina discolour. The visitation network for the three crops was
relatively generalised but with the addition of pollen deposition data,
specialisation increased. Sixteen managed and wild taxa were consistently
present across three years in avocado, yet their contribution to annual
network structure varied. Node specialisation (d’) analyses indicated many
individual orchard sites across each of the networks were significantly
more specialised compared to that predicted by null models, suggesting the
presence of site-specific factors driving these patterns. Identifying the
taxa shared across multiple crops, regions and years will facilitate the
development of specific pollinator management strategies to optimize crop
pollination services in horticultural systems. |
