- Observation Bombus affinis was a pollen-collecting floral visitor of Sarracenia purpurea.
- Observation Augochlorella aurata was a pollen-collecting floral visitor of Sarracenia purpurea.
- Observation Fletcherimyia fletcheri was a pollen-collecting floral visitor of Sarracenia purpurea.
- Intervention effect Supplemental pollination increased Sarracenia purpurea seed set by less than 10%.
- Intervention effect Preventing prey capture reduced Sarracenia purpurea seed set by 14%.
- Intervention effect Preventing photosynthesis in pitcher-shaped leaves further reduced Sarracenia purpurea seed set by 23%.
- Observation The authors suggested that reproductive output may be a cost of carnivory in Sarracenia purpurea.
