Experimental sampling design showing the tree and plot categories. At Occupied Plots, trees visited by koalas (A) were grouped with one nearby and similar tree that had not been visited (B) and with one nearby tree of a different subgenus (C). Then, at a matched Unoccupied Plot, leaves were collected from a tree of the same species (D) and one of a different subgenus (E) to Category A trees.
