Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Male and female trees flowered synchronously with daily display maxima at 1800-0600 and minima at 1400-1800.
- Observation Rewarding male trees produced three times as many flowers as female trees.
- Association Longer-lived female flowers reduced the difference in display maxima to a factor of two.
- Observation Beetles distinguished maximum and minimum displays on rewarding male trees.
- Observation Beetle captures were significantly higher at male trees during display maxima.
- Observation Capture rates did not differ between sexes during floral display minima.
- Observation Male-tree capture rates did not decline as predicted.
- Association Capture patterns were consistent with crepuscular activity.
- Observation Captures at both tree sexes were lower from 1800 to 0600 and 1000 to 1400.
- Observation Captures at both tree sexes were higher from 0600 to 1000 and 1400 to 1800, with significant differences only at female trees.
- Observation The authors infer that foraging errors are numerous and frequent and reflect overall foraging activity.
