(a) Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) plot of flower visiting guilds at each of the eight sites based on Bray-Curtis similarity. (b) MDS plot of flower visiting guilds at each of the five sampling month based on Bray-Curtis similarity. ((c)–(f)) Bubble plot overlaid on the MDS sample points indicating patterns driven by the abundance of each guild. These highlight the role of each guild in shaping the community, bubble size relative to the number of individuals at that point.
