Dataset3_Aminoacids.csv

Description

The dataset contains the amino acid content and ratios for the two bumblebees. Measures are taken only from pollen from the leg-baskets. SampleID is not the same as in the metabarcoding, several samples from different bumblebees were merged within a Location ,Landscape and Replica. Not for all the samples there is information on both amino acids and fatty acids. The columns are:

• SampleID_chemical: The ID for chemical analyses
• Location: the three Swiss cantons studied. Levels: Bern =BE; Basel = BS; Zurich =ZH
• Landscape: the two typea of human-dominated ecosystems, nested to the Swiss canton. Levels: Urban = U; Rural = R
• Replicate: sampling place (800-m buffer) nested with the location and the landscape. Levels: A-E.
• Bumblebee_species: the two studied species, levels: B.pasquorum; B. lapidarius
• LocationLandscape: Combining location and landscape
• Asp, Thr, ..., Arg: Content of individual amino acids. Amino acids are written as abbreviated names. FUll names be checked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid
• sum: total sum of amino acid content (mg)
• sumessential: total sum essential amino acids (mg) -sumnon-essential: total sum non-essential amino acids (mg)
• proportionnonessentialessential: proportion between essential and non-essential amino acids.
