To determine if foliar herbivory affected pollinator visitation, we monitored pollinator visits to 26 pairs of plants from the experiment described above. Plant pairs used for the observations were always located within approximately 2 m of each other to allow simultaneous pollinator observations. On each pair of plants, we recorded floral visitors in a series of one to three separate 30-minute continuous observations conducted after the removal of grasshoppers from the leaves. Just prior to each observation, we counted the number of open flowers on inflorescences from each of the three branches. The locally-induced, systemically induced, and control branches from a single plant pair were then observed simultaneously to record the identity of the floral visitors and the number of flowers visited by each individual visitor. The first column shows the name of the pollinator. the second column is the number for each couple of plants. the third column is the treatment of each branch: L local herbivory, S systemic herbivory, and C control. The fourth column is the number of visits of each pollinator. the fifth column is the number of individuals that made that visit and the sixth column is the average of opened flowers at the moment of the observation.
