1. ABOUT THE DATASET ------------ Title: Dataset and R Code supporting results from 'Biological traits predict ability of British wild bees to occupy their climate envelopes' Creators: Chris Wyver (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8661-0859) Organisation(s): Centre for Agri-Environmental Research, School of Agriculture, Policy and Development, University of Reading RG6 6AR Rights-holder(s): University of Reading Publication Year: 2023 Description: This dataset contains number of records, size of climate envelopes, range filling abilities and biological traits used to produce analysis in the manuscript 'Biological traits predict ability of British wild bees to occupy their climate envelopes'.

CONTENTS ------------ RangeFillingData.csv - A .csv file containing range filling ability, and life-history traits of 67 species of British wild bee. - 7 variables, 76 rows Variables: - Species: taxonomic name for each of the 67 species of bee used in this analysis. Character - Records: Number of cells within the climate envelope containing a presence record of the bee species. Numeric. - SuitableCells: Number of cells classified as having suitable climate for survival of the bee species. Numeric.

Spatio-temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate. Ecol Evol 13(11), e10705 (2023). - Percent: Percentage of suitable climate envelope containing a record ((Records/SuitableCells)*100). Percentage. - Habitat.Breadth: Number of habitats able to be used by each species, according to the European Red List of Bees. Numeric - Lecty: Pollen foraging specialization of each species. Character - Overwintering: Overwintering stage of each species. Character - ITD: Mean interteguar distance, used as a proxy of size for each species. Numeric - Genus: Genus of each of the 67 species of bee used in this analysis. Character - LogPercent: Logged percentage of suitable climate envelope containing a record (log((Records/SuitableCells)*100)). Numeric 3.RangeShifts.R - R script used to produce the spatial analysis in the manuscript "Biological traits predict ability of British wild bees to occupy their climate envelopes". It contains details of the multiple linear regression procedure. 5. METHODS ----------- Bee range filling was calculated using presence-only records of bee observations, obtained from the Bees, Wasps and Ants Recording Society in Great Britian, and from climate envelopes, created in Wyver et al. (2023) Spatio-temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate. A range filling percentage was calculated (the number of grid squares classified as suitable climate with an observation record, as a percentage of total number of grid squares classified as suitable climate.), and multiple linear regression used to test for the effects of three biological traits on the range filling percentage. 6.
