Determinants of the microstructure of plant-pollinator networks
(Ecological Society of America, 2014-12)
Identifying the determinants of biological interactions in mutualistic networks is key to understanding the rules that govern the organization of biodiversity. We used structural equation modeling and dissimilarities in ...
Information retrieved from specimens at Natural History Collections can improve the quality of field-based ecological networks
(Akademiai Kiado Rt, 2014-11)
Numerous studies analyze the interactions between plants and their pollinators in ecological communities using a network approach. However, field studies rarely record all the interactions occurring in the field. In this ...
PLANT-POLLINATOR INTERACTIONS FROM FLOWER TO LANDSCAPE The long and the short of it: a global analysis of hawkmoth pollination niches and interaction networks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-01-01)
1. Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any pollination system. Hawkmoths are ideal ...
Effect of mutualistic and antagonistic bees on floral resources and pollination of a savanna shrub
(2017-07-01)
Since Darwin, cheaters have been described in plant-pollinator mutualisms. Bignoniaceae species have a wide interaction network with floral visitors, and most of those interactions are established with cheaters. Thus, our ...
Core-periphery dynamics in a plant-pollinator network
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-07)
Mutualistic networks are highly dynamic, characterized by high temporal turnover of species and interactions. Yet, we have a limited understanding of how the internal structure of these networks and the roles species play ...
The potential for indirect effects between co-flowering plants via shared pollinators depends on resource abundance, accessibility and relatedness
(Wiley, 2014-11)
Co-flowering plant species commonly share flower visitors, and thus have the potential to influence each other's pollination. In this study we analysed 750 quantitative plant–pollinator networks from 28 studies representing ...
Niche partitioning due to adaptive foraging reverses effects of nestedness and connectance on pollination network stability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
Much research debates whether properties of ecological networks such as nestedness and connectance stabilise biological communities while ignoring key behavioural aspects of organisms within these networks. Here, we ...
Invasive Africanized honeybees change the structure of native pollination networks in Brazil
(Springer, 2012-11-01)
The Africanized honeybee Apis mellifera (AHB) is an invasive species spread over all Brazilian biomes, which has negative impacts on native bee populations, but whose impacts on native plants are still controversial. In ...
The phylogenetic structure of plant–pollinator networks increases with habitat size and isolation
(Wiley, 2016-01)
Similarity among species in traits related to ecological interactions is frequently associated with common ancestry. Thus, closely related species usually interact with ecologically similar partners, which can be reinforced ...
