Table 1.
Explanatory variables used to predict the temporal variation of species interaction properties, and their associated hypothesis.
Figure 1.
(a) Circles and error bars represent average momentary degree (mk) and standard error. Squares represent total degree (k) after two study years. Species increased its degree in accumulative manner, especially dispersers, whose degree was constrained by the number of plant species displaying fruits. Degree was variable among species, which demonstrates differences according with species identity. (b) Relationship between average mk (± SE) and phenology length. The mk increased with the phenology length, especially for plant species.
Table 2.
Models with explanatory variables explaining species interaction properties: momentary degree (mk) and strength (ms) for both plants and dispersers.
Figure 2.
Relationship between momentary strength (ms) and relative abundance.
The higher is the abundance of a given species at each temporal slice, the higher is its ms for both plants (a) and dispersers (b). However, this relationship was not very high; perhaps due to the stronger effect of other variables such as species identity or phenology length.
