Table 1.

Parameter definitions for Equation 1

Parameter Definition
α Strength of density dependence. Set to 0.1
r F Intrinsic reproductive rate of the flowering plant independent from pollinator P
r H Rate of herbivory of herbivore consuming flowering plant
c FH Conversion rate of eaten plant biomass F into herbivore H
h H Handling time of the herbivore on the flowering plant
h P Handling time of the pollinator on the flowering plant
b F Reproductive benefit of pollination visit for the flowering plant
b P Reproductive benefit of pollination visit for the pollinator
c Degree of pollinator visitation reduction due to effect of herbivore
d F,d H,d P Background death rates for flowering plant, herbivorous insect, the pollinator respectively

Parameters are measured per individual per unit time. The 3 time dependent variables in the model are as follows: F-flowering plant population, H-herbivore population, P-pollinator population
