Observed richness, Chao1 richness estimator (and standard error, SE), and Shannon diversity index (H) in larval guts (CLIM: C. limbipenne, CLAT: C. latum) and in decayed cactus stems (PLAT: I. dumortieri decayed tissues with C. latum larvae, PLIM: I. dumortieri decayed tissues with C. imbipenne larvae) for the full data sets and re-sampled data sets adjusted by the smallest sample size (average value and standard deviation, SD, for three replicates).
