The dominance candidate index (DCi) of plant species visited either by pollen collectors or nectar foragers from colonies (N = 40) fed on marri, jarrah, clover and canola feed sources over a three-week period (1–3). Nectar foragers were collected in the morning (am) and afternoon (pm). Plant species include: (A, B) Eucalyptus marginata; (C–E) Trifolium spp; (E–H) Persea americana. Crosses indicate the mean, bars indicate the median and the whiskers show the minimum and maximum values. Different letters show a significant difference at p < 0.05 from Tukey’s Comparison of Means.
