Dataset Description
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.
