Fig. 3

Daily cumulative abundances of the most abundant insects collected using male and female artificial flowers of Phytelephas aequatorialis. The transparent lines represent the 12 repetitions of the experiments, the thick lines are the mean abundance of insects sampled per hour and the shaded area is the standard deviation per hour. The ratio value is the difference between the total number of insects captured in male AF (♂ = 400 μL of p-methylanisole) and female AF (♀ = 50 μL of p-methylanisole). The 16 selected morphospecies represent 90% of the total abundance of insects captured for both female and male AFs. Graphs are ordered from maximum to minimum ratio value (indicated in the top-left corner for each vignette). The symbols in the upper right corner of each chart correspond to the habit, sun = diurnal, moon = nocturnal, sun/moon = vespertine. The acronym of each morphospecies corresponds to the taxonomic family to which they belong: Coleoptera: CR Chrysomelidae, CU Curculionidae, ND Nitidulidae, SC Scarabaeidae, ST Staphylinidae, PTIL Ptilidae, Diptera: DR Drosophilidae, SPH Sphaeroceridae. The numbers after the taxonomy abbreviations generate a unique code in the order in which we define the different morphospecies found for each family. Figure S6 in the Online Resource 3 contains the same information but with a different representation
