Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Flowers were protandrous, with stamen movement producing female-phase herkogamy and reducing nectary–anther distance.
- Observation The species was strongly insect pollinated and facultatively outcrossing.
- Observation Daily reward per flower decreased significantly after the male phase.
- Observation Diptera made up a significantly higher visiting proportion in S. bimaculata than S. kouitchensis.
- Observation Most visitors circled inside S. bimaculata flowers.
- Intervention effect Removing or blocking nectaries did not reduce visit frequency.
- Intervention effect Removing or blocking nectaries significantly shortened visits and interrupted circling.
- Observation Nectar abundance encouraged circling behavior.
- Observation Circling behavior promoted pollen dispersal.
- Observation Small visitors seldom contacted anthers or stigmas.
- Observation The nectary whorl guided foragers in a circle, making pollination more orderly and selective.
