From: Self-pollination rate and floral-display size in Asclepias syriaca(Common Milkweed) with regard to floral-visitor taxa

Figure 5

Modified method-of-moments self-pollination rate ( S mp ± 1 SE) in Apis mellifera , Bombus spp., and lepidopterans. All maternal genotypes (i.e., inflorescences with the same genotype) visited by a taxon were used to estimate its influence on S mp . Apis mellifera visited 13 maternal genotypes, Bombus spp. visited 16, and lepidopterans visited four. The asterisk indicates P < 0.05 for comparisons between visitor taxa in insertions or removals per visit. We calculated the Ps from pairwise comparisons of the bootstrap estimates for each taxon. We considered the S mp for two visitor taxa to be significantly different if > 975, or < 25, of the differences between randomly selected bootstrap estimates from the two visitor taxa were greater than zero.
