Glochidion species | Pollen grains | Laid eggs | Ovules | Intact seeds | Infested seeds | Sterile/aborted seeds |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
acuminatum | 7.8 ± 4.8 (30) | 1.7 ± 0.8 (262) | 6.1 ± 0.4 (364) | 3.3 ± 1.7 (364) | 1.8 ± 1.7 (364) | 0.9 ± 1.2 (364) |
zeylantcum | 32.4 ± 12.3 (51) | 2.3 ± 1.1 (51) | 10.3 ± 0.9 (104) | 2.1 ± 2.7 (104) | 7.6 ± 2.9 (104) | 0.6 ± 1.0 (104) |
obovatum | 26.7 ± 11.2 (40) | 1.6 ± 0.6 (40) | 11.9 ± 0.4 (56) | 3.1 ± 2.6 (56) | 4.8 ± 2.5 (56) | 1.3 ± 0.6 (56) |
Although the typical ovule number is different among the three species, 20–54% of seeds were intact even after multiple oviposition by Epicephala moths and infestation by nonpollinating seed-parasitic moths. Means ± SD are shown. Numbers in parentheses represent the number of examined fruits.
