Probability of damage to C. floridana reproductive structures in relation to the number of carrion on the shoot. For probability of damage, 1 = damage (to buds, flowers, and/or fruits) and 0 = no damage. The size of the circles is scaled to the number of shoots with the specific number of trapped carrion. The best-fit logistic regression line is included (b0 = −0.27 (SE = 0.32), b1 = −0.14 (SE = 0.08); R² = 0.036). The odds ratio for carrion is 0.87 (lower 95% CI 0.73, upper 95% CI 1.00)

Sticky plant surfaces can entrap small insects, which attracts predatory arthropods that reduce herbivory such that glandular trichomes can function as an indirect defense against herbivores. We investigated whether the glandular trichomes on reproductive shoots of Chapmannia floridana function as an indirect defense against herbivores. We assessed...
