The structure of plant-animal mutualistic networks
- Ecological Networks: Linking Structure to Dynamics in Food Webs
, 2006
"... Plant-animal mutualistic networks can be described as bipartite graphs depicting the interactions between two distinct sets: plants and animals. These mutualistic networks have been found to be highly structured. Specifically, they show a nested pattern in which specialists interact with proper subs ..."

REVIEW Uniting pattern and process in plant–animal mutualistic networks: a review
"... †Background Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in networks as a framework to study plant–animal mutualisms within their ecological context. Although such focus on networks has brought about important insights into the structure of these interactions, relative ..."

, relatively little is still known about the mechanisms behind these patterns. † Scope The aim in this paper is to offer an overview of the mechanisms influencing the structure of plant–animal mutualistic networks. A brief summary is presented of the salient network patterns, the potential mechanisms
Effects of phenotypic complementarity and phylogeny on the nested structure of mutualistic networks
, 1919
"... Recent studies have started to unravel the structure of mutualistic networks, although few functional explanations underlying such structure have been explored. We used computer simulations to test whether complementarity between phenotypic traits of plants and animals can explain the pervasive tend ..."

FORUM FORUM FORUM
"... FORUM is intended for new ideas or new ways of interpreting existing information. It provides a chance for suggesting hypotheses and for challenging current thinking on ecological issues. A lighter prose, designed to attract readers, will be permitted. Formal research reports, albeit short, will not ..."

, will not be accepted, and all contributions should be concise with a relatively short list of references. A summary is not required. Degree distribution in plant /animal mutualistic networks: forbidden links or random interactions?
LETTER Evolution and coevolution in mutualistic networks
"... A major current challenge in evolutionary biology is to understand how networks of interacting species shape the coevolutionary process. We combined a model for trait evolution with data for twenty plant-animal assemblages to explore coevolution in mutualistic networks. The results revealed three fu ..."

"... Plant–animal mutualistic networks are interaction webs consisting of two sets of entities, plant and animal species, whose evolutionary dynamics are deeply influenced by the outcomes of the interactions, yielding a diverse array of coevolutionary processes. These networks are two-mode networks shari ..."

TECHNICAL COMMENT Response to Comment on ‘‘Asymmetric Coevolutionary Networks Facilitate
"... Mutualistic networks are characterized by weak and asymmetric interactions, which a simple model predicts will facilitate species coexistence. Holland et al. propose a more complex model and argue that coexistence is independent of mutualism strength. However, we show that mutualism strength still p ..."

Our study (1) analyzed quantitative plant-animal mutualistic networks and concluded that the bulk of pairwise dependences are weak and that in the few cases in which one dependence is strong
