Occurrence data of the western bumble bee from 1998 to 2020 across the western United States

These raw survey data and associated explanatory covariates were used to model western bumble bee occupancy across the western conterminous United States from 1998 to 2020. These data underlie the analyses found in the publication of “Recent and future declines of a historically widespread pollinator linked to climate, land cover, and pesticides” by Janousek et al. 2023 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences vol. 120, issue 5. The covariate data are provided in a scaled format for use in the occupancy model, and the scaling parameters used to transform the data to the original (real) scale are provided in the scaling information file.
