Barrett and Helenurm
(1987)
General information
This study
took place in the boreal forest of central New Brunswick, Canada,
from May to September of 1978, 1979, and 1980. The objective was
to investigate the role of animals in pollination and seed dispersal.
The study was designed to provide basic descriptive information
on breeding systems, pollination biology, and phenology of understory
herbs.
Data type
The authors
recorded their data by counting the number of individual flower
visitors caught on each plant species. The total number of individuals
collected on each plant species provide a rough estimate of the
level of visitation that each species received. Data are presented
as an interaction frequency matrix, in which cells with positive
integers indicate the frequency of interaction between a pair of
species, and cells with zeros indicate no interaction.
