Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Thickened calyx and sympetalous corolla did not deter orioles.
- Observation Orioles punctured corollas at the 11:00 h or 01:00 h positions and enlarged the incision.
- Observation More than 92% of flowers were robbed when orioles were present.
- Observation Fruit set was nil until orioles departed on fall migration.
- Mechanism Timing suggests oriole robbery may select for extended or delayed flowering.
