Appendix S3. Sources of Variation Not Presented in the Main Text

<p>Appendix S3. Sources of variation not presented in the main text</p><p>There was no significant difference between responses of pollinator families and subfamilies to live predators (visitation rate: Qb = 11.2, P = 0.167; time spent on flowers: Qb = 24.2, P = 0.105). Presence of predators significantly decreased visitation rates by all pollinator taxa except Syrphidae and Satirinae (Lepidoptera) (Fig. 1a) and reduced time spent on flowers by all pollinator families except Syrphidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae (Diptera) (Fig. 1b). </p><p>There was no significant difference between effects of native and invasive ants on pollinator visitation rate (native: ln R = -0.59, 95% CI = -1.01 to -0.29, n = 10; invasive: ln R = -0.40, 95% CI = -1.26 to 0.28, n = 7; Qb =0.26, P = 0.66) and time spent on flowers (native: ln R = -0.68, 95% CI = -1.37 to 0.16, n = 4; invasive: ln R = -0.67, 95% CI = -1.41 to -0.08, n = 10; Qb = 0.0005, P = 0.99). </p><p>The overall effects of presence of live predators on pollinator visitation rates did not differ between experimental and observational studies (experimental: lnR = -0.46, 95% CI = -0.72 to -0.27, n = 21; observational: lnR = -0.41, 95% CI = -0.73 to -0.15, n = 26, Qb = 0.07, P = 0.80, df = 1). The same was true for effects on time spent on flowers (experimental: ln R = -0.84, 95% CI =-1.36 to -0.40, n = 14; observational: ln R = -0.62, 95% CI = -1.10 to -0.27, n = 20; Qb = 0.36, P = 0.54, df = 1).
