Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Adding conspecific flowers alone or with Cephaelis flowers increased hummingbird visitation to Palicourea flowers.
- Intervention effect Adding conspecific flowers alone or with Cephaelis flowers increased hummingbird visitation to Besleria flowers.
- Intervention effect In Palicourea, pollen tubes in styles and seed output per flower increased with added conspecific flowers.
- Intervention effect In Besleria, adding conspecific flowers (A to B) increased pollination but not seed output.
- Intervention effect Heterospecific (Cephaelis) enrichment decreased seed output in Besleria.
- Intervention effect Enriching the neighborhood with Cephaelis flowers did not alter hummingbird probe frequency to either focal species.
