Text 1 To discern the ecological role that blackberry plants, or Rubus fruticosus L. aggregate, serve for species of foraging insects, many of which are in decline, Annabel Squire and team recorded about two thousand insect visits to R. fruticosus (between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.) during the plant's flowering period. They observed visits from a diverse range of species, including Chloromyia formosa and Apis mellifera. Text 2 Researchers' focus on diurnal invertebrate pollinators has resulted in a decided lack of data on moth pollination, but using infrared detection equipment, Max Anderson et al. assessed how diurnal and nocturnal insects separately contribute to R. fruticosus pollination. They found that although 83% of all insect visits occurred during the day, pollen deposition rates were much higher during moths' nocturnal foraging.
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the information about Squire and team's study as presented in Text 1?
ABy agreeing that the study's findings are helpful with the caveat that the study should have included more species of plants besides R. fruticosus
BBy claiming that the observations by Squire and team might not include an important category of interactions between invertebrate pollinators and R. fruticosus
CBy suggesting that Squire and team's conclusions were undermined by a failure to accurately distinguish diurnal pollinator visits from nocturnal pollinator visits in their data
DBy criticizing the study for failing to account for the foraging behavior of vertebrate animals that pollinate R. fruticosus
