BeeFunc, a comprehensive trait database for French bees
Listed in data.InDoRES
Given pollinator's reported decline, it is of utmost importance to better understand the vulnerability of wild bees to human pressures.
Description
One way to achieve this goal is to explore how traits are associated with exposure to anthropogenic perturbations. To date, there is no database that synthesizes the several traits of bees at the species level in France, limiting the functional interpretation of inventories for the ecosystem service of pollination.
We present BeeFunc 1.0, the first database on functional traits for the entire fauna of French wild bees. Based on extensive literature research and local expert knowledge, the database is structured according to the National Taxonomic Referential Register. BeeFunc is intended to be evolutionary, collaborative, and regularly updated.

Bees can finally be better considered from a functional perspective. We expect this database to be widely used by researchers, conservationists, naturalists, and stakeholders, stimulating future research on wild bees.
