Table 1. Average species richness and evenness between treatments.

Sample type SOBS Inverse Simpson Evenness (from Simpson)
Canopy-original 9,705 ±838a 195 ±30 0.022 ±0.004ab
Canopy-severed 9,464 ±651ab 194 ±40 0.022 ±0.005ab
Ground-perched 13,680 ±790b 678 ±93 0.050 ±0.008ab
Ground- flat 13,744 ±1, 321ab 609 ±323 0.042 ±0.019ab
Ground-original 13,168 ±493b 561 ±60 0.043 ±0.006ab

Notes.

Observed species (SOBS) in canopy-original samples (a) were significantly fewer than those in ground-perched and ground-original samples (b) according to a Dunnet–Tukey–Kramer test. All other comparisons (ab) were not significant. All values are reported ± standard error.
