FIG. 1 in Foraging by the flower-dwelling spider, Misumenops argenteus (Thomisidae), at high prey density sites

FIG. 1. Manly's index of habitat preference for (A) M. argenteus and of (B) potential prey for each phase of T. adenantha flowerheads (F1 to F5, see Methods) along the Mirante track, during the rainy season. Values above and below 0.20 (1/total number of flowerhead phases) indicate a preference for and avoidance of flowerhead types by the spiders, respectively. The distribution of the spiders in the dry season was not assessed because of the low number of animals encountered. In the dry season the prey and adult females were not considered because their distribution among the different flowerheads was not significant (see Results).
