Data collected over a 15-month period from 2010 to 2011 in a 120-hectare oil palm plantation in the southwestern region of Cameroon. The data describe the emergence dynamics of major oil palm pollinators from male inflorescences, visit dynamics for male and female inflorescences, and pollen-carrying ability of insects, as well as the variability of these behaviors according to the stage of anthesis. A complete description of each file is provided below.
