Abstract

Biological records of potentially nutrient plants of mexican wild bees identified from Naturalista (Mexican iNaturalist Node) observations. This is an interinstitutional effort for taxonomic curation and mobilization of plant observations that appear in photos of bees compiled by the project “Xicotli Data: Native Bees and their flowers” (https://www.naturalista.mx/projects/xicotli-data-abejas-mexicanas-y-sus-flores). It seeks to maximize the use of the available observations in Naturalista. Thus, it is expected to contribute to the documentation of the native plant-bee interactions. This dataset is made up of a metadata and three tables: 1) occurrences; 2) ecomorphological attributes (see details here), and 3) type of interaction with the bee (see details here). Taxonomic determination from photographs is a great challenge. However, experts plant taxonomists carried out the curation of the observations from specialized literature (i.e., taxonomic descriptions and catalogues) and comparison with specimens from two Mexican herbaria: IEB-“Graciela Calderón and Jerzy Rzedowski ” (http://inecolbajio.com/index.php#) and MEXU-UNAM (http://www.ib.unam.mx/botanica/herbario/) applied a very conservative protocol that guarantees the greatest possible veracity of the taxonomic determinations. This dataset has been generated within the framework of the project “Integration of biodiversity data of wild bee-plant interactions in Mexico” (https://www.gbif.org/es/project/BID-CA2020-021-NAC/integration-of-biodiversity-data-of-wild-bee-plant-interactions-in-mexico).
