Lagerstroemia indica Floral and Pollinator Trait Measurements from 2023

Takashi Ida's dataset supports a study on heteranthery's ecological function. It contains measurements of bee pollinator traits, anther and pollen characteristics, and plant traits for Lagerstroemia indica, all collected in 2023. The data is stored in three Excel workbooks totaling 173.3 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyzing relationships between bee body size and pollen transfer based on bee trait data
• Investigating the link between anther/pollen traits and fruit set success based on plant data
• Studying the functional significance of heteranthery based on correlated floral and pollinator measurements

Strengths

• Data collection is explicitly documented as occurring in a single year (2023), providing temporal consistency.
• The dataset is structured across 13 distinct Excel tabs, each with legends, suggesting organized documentation.
• The 173.3 KB file size indicates a focused, manageable dataset for targeted analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's geographic origin is not specified, limiting ecological generalizability.
