Description of the data and file structure

data_pollinators_parks.csv: database of pollinator and their floral visits to ornamental plants over 12 consecutive months in 15 parks in the Mediterranean city of Seville (Spain), between October 2021 and September 2022. On average, each park was sampled every four weeks, and thus once a month.During each census, we conducted a 10-minute pollinator count per plant, focusing on a 1 m² area with the highest flower density. We recorded floral visitors that made contact with any reproductive part of a flower, avoiding double counting.

date: date of the observation // time: when the observation was performed // parkname: the name of the park // plant: the plant where we observed the interaction // census: number of the census per plant // order/family/genus/species: pollinator identification // n: the number of observed pollinators per species

data_flowers_parks.csv: database of floral availability per park. We estimated floral availability per ornamental plant, day and park, by counting receptive (i.e., pollinator-accessible) flowers in five randomly selected 40 cm² areas per plant species. We estimated the area occupied by each species (500 m buffer radius) in each park by mapping their coverage during walking surveys
