尽管传粉昆虫对自然环境和农业的重要性，但很少有人尝试使用通用格式将现有的植物-传粉者相互作用数据集统一到一个单一的数据库中。因此，我们创建了世界上第一个在线、开放访问和可搜索的传粉者-植物相互作用数据库。DoPI（传粉者相互作用数据库）是根据对科学文献和研究人员和组织要求的未发表数据集的系统综述而建立的。我们整理了英国植物和昆虫访花物种（或属）之间的相互作用的记录，以及相关的元数据（日期，地点，栖息地，源出版物）时。该数据集目前（2021年12月）包含101，539条记录，详细描述了超过320，000次交互。交互的数量（即，每次记录成对物种相互作用的次数）在记录之间差异很大，平均为3.6。其中包括1888种传粉者和1241种植物的记录，总计超过17，000种成对物种相互作用。通过在一个单一的存储库中结合大量的信息，DoPI可以用来回答基本的生态学问题的空间和时间的授粉相互作用的动态，以及在保护实践中的应用问题。我们希望这个动态数据库不仅对研究人员，而且对自然资源保护者、资助机构、政府部门、养蜂人、农学家和园丁都是一个有用的工具。我们要求在适当的情况下，在出版物和个体研究中使用数据时引用本文。鼓励研究人员和组织在未来增加更多的数据。该数据库可在https://www.dopi.org.uk/上查阅。
Despite the importance of pollinating insects to natural environments and agriculture, there have been few attempts to unite the existing plant–pollinator interaction datasets into a single depository using a common format. Accordingly, we have created one of the world's first online, open‐access, and searchable pollinator–plant interaction databases. DoPI (The Database of Pollinator Interactions) was built from a systematic review of the scientific literature and unpublished datasets requested from researchers and organizations. We collated records of interactions between British plant and insect flower–visitor species (or genera), together with associated metadata (date, location, habitat, source publication) when available. The dataset currently (December 2021) contains 101,539 records, detailing over 320,000 interactions. The number of interactions (i.e., the number of times a pairwise species interaction was recorded per occasion) varies considerably among records, averaging 3.6. These include records from 1888 pollinator species and 1241 plant species, totaling >17,000 pairwise species interactions. By combining a large volume of information in a single repository, DoPI can be used to answer fundamental ecological questions on the dynamics of pollination interactions in space and time, as well as applied questions in conservation practice. We hope this dynamic database will be a useful tool not only for researchers, but also for conservationists, funding agencies, governmental departments, beekeepers, agronomists, and gardeners. We request that this paper is cited when using the data in publications and individual studies when appropriate. Researchers and organizations are encouraged to add further data in the future.
