Memmott (1999)
General information
This study
was conducted in a 150 x 250 m medow plot in the vicinity of Bristol,
U.K. in July 1997. The objective was to describe the plant-flower
visitor interaction web of this area, taking into account species
abundances and their frequency of interaction. Twenty five plant
species were studied, and 79 flower visitor species were recorded
visiting them.
Data type
The author
recorded her data by counting the number of visits of each flower
visitor species to each plant species, and by independently measuring
the abundance of plant and animal taxa. 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.
