Time courses, in term of average stem-recovery degrees (R°s), of changes in orientation of artificially inclined seedlings of D. celebica, A. heterophyllus and F. moluccana. All seedlings returned towards the vertical but the degrees of recovery (R°), the timing of the recovery and speed of recovery differed among species. Bars indicate standard errors (n = 5 seedlings per species)
