We present the results of an empirical study that evaluates the effect of plant sex on its associated arthropod communities. Our results indicate that plant sex has a seasonal and alternating effect on the arthropod community diversity—male plants hosting a more diverse community of arthropods during the flowering season, while female plants do during ...
