Interaction data is made available through GloBI

https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/2023/11/03/dwca-resource-relations/

The interactions recorded in this project and many other can now be explored and used for research at https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org

Flower visitation and other interactions can also be visualized, for example:
https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/browse/?interactionType=ecologicallyRelatedTo&resultType=json&sourceTaxon=Xylocopa%20violacea

Global Biotic Interactions is an open service providing open data using open source software.

Enjoy!

Over 1000 pollinator species recorded with information about flower visitation

Nearly 1000 users have now contributed to over 1000 pollinator species records. Anybody is welcome to send interesting records to be added or to help with identifications of flowers to genus or species level. This is still a challenge.

LIFE 4 Pollinators

Spring is starting in the Mediterranean. A good time to learn more about pollinators and how to recognize them. With over 5000 taxa of pollinators that are widely distributed not an easy task.
If you have never identified any of the pollinator groups or characteristic species yet and don't want to solely rely on AI there are some beginner's fieldguides.
A good start are the fieldguides at: https://life4pollinators.eu/index.php/en/downloads/fieldguides
Check out also other documents at: https://life4pollinators.eu/index.php/en/downloads/

How to add information using additional fields in this project

I have edited the paragraphs with instructions under 'About' and copied them here:

Recording the flowering plant species (taxon) the pollinator was visiting is the main requirement for this project. The taxon rank is preferably species. Otherwise recommended is using a taxon rank at the family level or lower (usually family, subfamily, tribe or genus).
Adding a plant taxon to your observation can be done in several ways, preferably fill in the following fields or at least one of them:

Interaction->Visited flower of:
Associated species with names lookup:

Other similar fields that are available are:

Name of Associated Plant:
What plant is being pollinated?
Visiting a flower of: (Interaction):
Nectar Plant:

... and a few more

Usually you will first add photos and identifications by using the button 'upload'. After you have uploaded photos you will see at the right side of each observation page additional information. Under Annotations you can see Projects -> in the field 'Add to a Project', start typing Pollinators in the Mediterranean and select the project. Now you can add the data to the fields described above.

Off to a good start

Over 500 species have been recorded now! Today, already 434 people have contributed 3404 interactions and observations of pollinators.

Many thanks to all contributors and a special thanks to Bernard alias Berzou.
