Community structure, life-history traits and performance traits of urban cavity-nesting bees annd wasps

Background Urban ecosystems are associated with socio-ecological conditions that can filter and promote taxa. However, the strength of the effect of ecological filtering on biodiversity could vary among biotic and abiotic factors. Here, we provide the data used to investigate the effects of habitat amount, temperature, and host-enemy biotic interactions in shaping communities of cavity-nesting bees and wasps (CNBW) and their natural enemies. To do so, we installed trap-nests in 80 sites distributed along urban intensity gradients in 5 European cities (Antwerp, Paris, Poznan, Tartu and Zurich). We quantified the species richness and abundance of CNBW hosts and their natural enemies, as well as two performance traits (survival and parasitism) and two life-history traits (sex ratio and number of offspring per nest for the hosts). The dataset contains: * The taxonomic metrics on CNBW * The taxonomic metrics on the natural enemies from CNBW * The life-history traits and performance traits
