Fieldwork was conducted in the western valley of the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot28. Sites in Kannur (12°02′8371″N; 75°26′1361″E) and Kasaragod (12°54′8148″N; 75°16′5202″E)) districts of the state of Kerala in the tropical regions of peninsular India were selected. We selected three major locations (Periye, Nileswar, and Pilathara) for the present observational studies in S. radiatum. These locations stood at a mean distance of about 11 km apart as the crow files. In each location, we had one to three sites for observations; the sites in a location stood at a mean aerial distance of about 0.7 km. In each site, flowering plants were selected for recording flower visitors and seed set. Detailed methodologies for sampling plants are given below under each objective. The maximum and minimum average temperatures during the study period were 29 °C and 22.82 °C respectively.
