Sulfoxaflor Effects on Osmia Bicornis Bee Food Intake and Learning Efficiency

1.2 MB of data from a laboratory and artificial flower experiment investigating the sub-lethal effects of pesticides on solitary bees. The dataset, authored by Janine M. Schwarz and last updated in June 2026, contains results showing sulfoxaflor reduced sugar solution intake by an average of 23.8% and impaired learning efficiency.

Use Cases

• Modeling pesticide impact on bee fitness based on reported food intake reduction
• Analyzing learning performance impairment based on color discrimination tasks
• Studying pesticide interaction effects using the sulfoxaflor-azoxystrobin combination data
• Investigating sub-lethal pathways affecting solitary bee population dynamics

Strengths

• Dataset size is 1.2 MB, indicating a focused and manageable experimental dataset
• Results include a quantified average reduction in food intake (23.8%)
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect experimental bias inherent to controlled laboratory and artificial flower settings
