Inouye and Pyke (1988)
General information
This paper
reports a community-level study of the pollination biology of alpine
plants in Kosciusko National Park in the Snowy Mountains of south-eastern
New South Wales, Australia. The flora and their associated insect
pollinators were observed from December 1983 until March 1984.
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.
