Table 2.

Choice of flower colour by hawkmoths during day and dusk light conditions and by naïve and experienced bumble-bees on flowers with similar or different pollen rewards

Pollinator Experiment n Preference Test/Procedure P-value
Hawkmoth Day 32 Blue Binomial 0·025
Dusk 6 Blue Proc Mixed 0·030
Naïve bees Similar reward 185 Blue Z = –3·13, Proc Glimmix 0·002
Different reward >120 Rewarding flower Z-value (see text), Proc Glimmix <0·0001
Experienced bees Similar reward 157 None Z = –1·39, Proc Glimmix 0·166

The Proc Mixed and Proc Glimmix are SAS procedures for Linear mixed models.

The variable n for the binomial test represents the number of trials, for the Proc Mixed the number of days, and for experimental arrays the number of flowers.
