Data from: Comparing three collection methods for pollinating insects within electric transmission rights-of-ways

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-11-21
Insect pollinator community data collected from three types of insect traps/collecting methods (colored pan traps, blue vane traps, targeted sweep netting) from four power line right of ways in Alabama. Data are from one growing season (May-October 2018), and collection methods were employed once per month. Data include: 1) insect pollinator community composition data; 2) relative diversity calculations by insect Order; 3) overall insect pollinator community diversity summary by trap type/collecting method and month. These data reflect the community as sampled through different means in the same time period. Resources in this dataset: Resource title: Insect Pollinator Community Composition Matrix File name: Pollinator communty matrix.csv Resource description: Pollinator community composition (taxon, abundance) by site, insect trap type, and season. See Supplemental Table 1 in Campbell et al. 2023 for detailed taxa information. Resource title: Insect Pollinator Community Diversity by Order File name: Pollinator community diversity by Order.csv Resource description: Insect Pollinator community diversity metrics separated by Order for each site, for each insect trap type and season. Resource title: Summary of Overall Insect Pollinator Community Diversity File name: Overall Pollinator community diversity.csv Resource description: Overall Insect Pollinator community diversity summarized by trap type and season. Resource title: Dataset key File name: Dataset key table.pdf Resource description: Column titles and variable descriptions for three datasets, of: 1) Pollinator Community Composition; 2) Pollinator Community Diversity by Order; and 3) Overall Pollinator Community Diversity summarized by Trap Type and Season
