Data Collection Protocol

Nectar plants were surveyed by an observer walking along a permanent transect line.

Observer walked a line parallel to the transect at a length of 1.5m to the right of the transect.

Observer visually surveyed a 1m wide band along the whole length of the transect, recording every visual detection of an actively flowering floral resource.

Area surveyed was the same as the length of transect because width of survey was 1m along whole length of transect.

Transect lengths can be found in survey data.frame.
