Table 1.
Pollinator assemblages of Tillandsia intermedia and T. makoyana recorded during 2008–10 in continuous and fragmented tropical dry forest sites in the region of Chamela, Jalisco, Mexico. Values indicate percent number of visits by each animal taxon that contacted the reproductive organs of flowers. N is the total number of legitimate visits to inflorescences observed in each habitat condition. Analyses of differences in pollinator composition between continuous and fragmented habitats are shown for each Tillandsia species (***P < 0.0001).
