Do Port/Online monsters have different drop rates

monster-hunter-3-ultimate

I remember that in MHFU, the monsters encountered on Guild hunts were reputed to have higher drop rates for rarer materials (such as Rubies and Plates). I am not sure if this was true, but is this the case in MH3U? Do the Tanzia (Port) monsters have different drop rates than the Moga (Village) monsters?

Bradygames guide gives fixed percentages for monster drops at any given hunter rank. No mention is made of percentages varying by whether you play port or village.

Randomness is randomness though, so while some hunters grind for hours on end just to get that one Wyvern Stone to finis their armor set, others get Stones nearly every other quest despite having no idea what to do with so many.
