The two inflorescences per treatment were selected at random on each individual.
We then waited for honeybees to visit the four inflorescences ten times and noted how many of the visits had occurred on blue inflorescences.
The distance between the two sets of attractors (inflorescence and floral) is clearly depicted by the way they are grouped in a phenogram (Figure 2).
We painted a blue spot on each external floret, forming roughly a circle, on two inflorescences (blue inflorescences) and the calyx of the other two (control inflorescences) to control for possible effects of ink smell.
Two inflorescences per plant were tagged in the greenhouse and outdoors, and only one inflorescence per plant was tagged in growth rooms.
Two inflorescences are formed per one vegetative shoot, the second inflorescence being formed in the axil of the uppermost leaf primordium.
And then two inflorescences from each plant were bagged with pillow cages [ 66] in the field before inflorescences fully emerged out.
The size of the inflorescence and the number of flowers per inflorescence were greater in the S-styled morph, but the differences between the two morphs were insignificant (Table 1).
We compared the distribution of inflorescence colors of the 98 spiny versus the 189 non-spiny species of the Asteraceae in the flora of Israel, and found significant differences between the two groups.
Dry inflorescence weight, inflorescence length/width, and whorl number, were each very sensitive to the environment, with no colocalized hotspots between the two years for which we have data.
