title: Data from: Consequences of multiple flower-insect interactions for subsequent plant-insect interactions and plant reproduction

description: Premise of the study. Plants often interact simultaneously with multiple
 antagonists and mutualists that can alter plant traits at the phenotypic
 or genetic level, subsequent plant-insect interactions, and reproduction.
 Although many studies have examined the effects of single floral
 antagonisms on subsequent pollination and plant reproduction, we know very
 little about the combined, potentially non-additive effects of multiple
 flower-insect interactions. Methods. We simulated increased florivory,
 nectar robbing, and pollination on field-grown Impatiens capensis. This
 allowed us to determine interactive effects on five subsequent
 plant-insect interactions and 16 plant traits, including traits related to
 plant growth, floral attractiveness, floral defenses, and plant
 reproduction. Key results. All three manipulative treatments had
 significant non-additive effects on the behavior of subsequent floral
 visitors, indicating that the effect of floral visitors generally depended
 on the presence or behavior of others. Pollination increased visitation by
 both pollinators and nectar larcenists (robbers and thieves), while
 florivory reduced pollinator and larcenist visits. Surprisingly,
 supplemental pollination also increased leaf herbivory. Florivores often
 responded to manipulations in opposite ways than did nectar larcenists and
 pollinators, suggesting different mechanisms influencing visitors that
 consume nectar compared to floral tissue. While our treatments did not
 affect any floral trait measured, they non-additively impacted plant
 reproduction, with florivory having a larger overall impact than either
 nectar robbing or pollination. Conclusions. These results emphasize the
 importance of understanding the context in which flower-insect
 interactions occur, because the composition of the interacting community
 can have large and non-additive impacts on subsequent insect behavior and
 plant reproduction. If you would like your personal information to be
