polyandrous stamens with unilocular anthers that possess stakled filaments forming five bundles united at base with calyx & corolla and produce tremendous amount of pollen which favors pollination via mammals like bats [20].
Because we were unsure whether these detection ratios would be similar to values that would have been generated using the adjusted total metric, we did not adjust counts of the polygamous (polygynous and
polyandrous) species and assumed perfect detection (detection rate = 1.0).
Finally, pointing out that there are good reasons for not recognising incestuous,
