Fig. 5.
Temperature of the thorax, head and abdomen (mean of each flowering plant and day) in dependence on season (a) and ambient temperature (b) in two different years (for year 1996 see Kovac & Schmaranzer, 1996). The horizontal lines are mean thorax values of two seasons (spring and summer) or ranges of ambient temperature (Ta). Values of the thorax temperature for the dandelion is marked with pink circles. Mean values between seasons (a) and between ranges of Ta (b) are significantly different (P < 0.05, see Results).
