Description

Tools to estimate pollinator body size and co-varying traits. This package contains Bayesian predictive models of pollinator body size (for bees and hoverflies) and bee foraging range, as well as preexisting predictive models for pollinator body size (currently implemented for ants, bees, butterflies, flies, moths and wasps), bee tongue length, foraging range, total field nectar loads and wing loading. An additional GitHub repository <https://github.com/liamkendall/pollimetrydata> provides model objects to use the bodysize and foraging.range functions internally. The Bayesian models are described in Kendall et al. (2019) <doi:10.1002/ece3.4835> & Kendall et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/ecy.3809>.
