Table 1.

Summary of mixed model ANOVAs testing for the effects of nectar yeasts on the temperature excess of nectar (ΔTnect) and air inside the flower (ΔTflow), in relation to the temperature of the air immediately outside the floral perianth (figure 1a). In experiment 1, the ‘yeasts’ effect refers to the comparison of flowers exposed to pollinator visitation (control) with flowers from which yeasts had been excluded (treatment). In experiment 2, yeasts effect refers to the comparison between virgin flowers that opened inside pollinator exclosures (control) and virgin flowers whose nectaries had been inoculated with yeasts (treatment). The site effect in experiment 1 refers to differences between study sites (Las Navillas and Puerto Llano). Experiment 2 was performed only at Puerto Llano.
