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.
