Comprehensive dataset of pollinator diversity and visitation rates with individual-based traits and pollination success across four urban garden plant species

DOI

This dataset contains detailed records of pollinator communities and plant reproductive outcomes from an urban garden experiment in Zurich, Switzerland. It includes flower visitation frequency and pollinator species richness for four insect-pollinated plant species observed across 24 home gardens. The dataset spans 167 pollinator taxa, with over 5,700 individuals identified, mostly to species or genus level. It features individual-level trait measurements for pollinators, such as body size and tongue lengths. Measures of pollination success, including seed and fruit set, are provided for each plant species.
