Number of Macaranga trees on which at least one individual of the 3 bug species, Pilophorus lambirensis, Phylinae sp. 1, and Arbela sp. 1, was observed (‘with bugs’), and trees on which no bugs of the 3 species were observed (‘without bugs’). Trees were considered to be not actively defended by ants (i.e., inactive) when no plant-ants were observed on the surface of the trees
