Differences in the number of mutually exclusive behaviours exhibited by male pollinators on manipulated C. trapeziformis relative to control flowers
Shortening experiment | Elongation experiment | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Behaviour | Control | Manipulated | Control | Manipulated |
Approach | 84 | 85 | 173 | 210 |
Land | 61 | 49 | 44 | 63 |
Pseudocopulate | 23 | 21 | 24 | 32 |
Forward orientation | 14 | 2* | 14 | 20 |
Forward orientation refers to the number of pseudocopulating males that exhibited the forward orientation.
Data were analysed with χ2 tests under an expectation of equal responses between control and manipulated treatments.
