Abundance and generalisation in mutualistic networks: Solving the chicken-and-egg dilemma
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
A frequent observation in plant-animal mutualistic networks is that abundant species tend to be more generalised, interacting with a broader range of interaction partners than rare species. Uncovering the causal relationship ...
Specialization and Rarity Predict Nonrandom Loss of Interactions from Mutualist Networks
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2012-03-23)
The loss of interactions from mutualistic networks could foreshadow both plant and animal species extinctions. Yet, the characteristics of interactions that predispose them to disruption are largely unknown. We analyzed ...
The effect of space in plant-animal mutualistic networks: Insights from a simulation study
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-09)
The topology of plant-animal mutualistic networks has the potential to determine the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interacting species. Many mechanisms have been proposed as explanations of observed network ...
Frugivory Specialization in Birds and Fruit Chemistry Structure Mutualistic Networks across the Neotropics
(Univ Chicago Press, 2021-02-01)
The interaction between fruit chemistry and the physiological traits of frugivores is expected to shape the structure of mutualistic seed dispersal networks, but it has been understudied compared with the role of morphological ...
Analysis and assembling of network structure in mutualistic systems
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007-06-07)
It has been observed that mutualistic bipartite networks have a nested structure of interactions. In addition, the degree distributions associated with the two guilds involved in such networks (e.g., plants and pollinators ...
Analysis of a hyper-diverse seed dispersal network: modularity and underlying mechanisms
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2011)
A conceptual framework for studying the strength of plant-animal mutualistic interactions
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015)
© 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd/CNRS.The strength of species interactions influences strongly the structure and dynamics of ecological systems. Thus, quantifying such strength is crucial to understand how species interactions ...
Processes entangling interactions in communities: forbidden links are more important than abundance in a hummingbird-plant network
(Royal SocLondonInglaterra, 2014)
Seeing through the static: the temporal dimension of plant–animal mutualistic interactions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-01)
Most studies of plant–animal mutualistic networks have come from a temporally static perspective. This approach has revealed general patterns in network structure, but limits our ability to understand the ecological and ...
