My study identified that, predictably, the floral resource (flowers providing pollen and nectar) was the most important determinant of pollinator presence. I will post a more detailed discussion of my findings later on (after my
viva!) but here is a quick summary of my findings:
Geraniaceae, Asteraceae, Rosaceae and Lamiaceae were the most visited plant families. From memory, here are some good examples of species in these groups:
Geraniaceae - Cranesbills
Asteraceae - Fleabane
Rosaceae - Spirea
Lamiaceae - Catmint
