Experimental Data on Heat Stress Impacts on Red Mason Bee Morphology and Flight

234.0 MB of data from an experiment testing the lasting effects of developmental heatwaves on the red mason bee (Osmia bicornis). The dataset, created by Agnieszka Gudowska and last updated in May 2026, includes measurements of body mass, wing size, and flight performance metrics for bees exposed to moderate and extreme heat stress.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between body mass and wing size based on allometric analyses described.
• Analyzing the impact of heatwave intensity and duration on flight initiation and distance.
• Investigating carry-over effects from developmental stress to adult pollinator performance and ecosystem service provision.

Strengths

• Experimental design includes controlled moderate and extreme heatwave treatments.
• Dataset size is 234.0 MB, suggesting substantial underlying data.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column-level documentation are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the experimental lab conditions and the specific model species studied.
