Urban drivers of plant-pollinator interactions
"... Summary 1. Plant-pollinator interactions are affected by global change, with largely negative impacts on pollination and plant reproduction. Urban areas provide a unique and productive study system for understanding the impacts of many global change drivers on plant-pollinator interactions. 2. We r ..."

Determinants of the microstructure of plant-pollinator networks
, 2014
"... Abstract. 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 nine ecological variables to investigate community processes underlyi ..."

underlying the turnover of species and their interaction frequencies (interaction pattern) among highly resolved plant-pollinator networks. Floral and pollinator community composition, i.e., species identities and their abundances, were strong determinants of the microstructure of pairwise interactions among
Plant Pollinator Networks along a Gradient of
"... Background: Habitat loss is one of the principal causes of the current pollinator decline. With agricultural intensification, increasing urbanisation is among the main drivers of habitat loss. Consequently studies focusing on pollinator community structure along urbanisation gradients have increased ..."

increased in recent years. However, few studies have investigated how urbanisation affects plant-pollinator interaction networks. Here we assessed modifications of plant-pollinator interactions along an urbanisation gradient based on the study of their morphological relationships. Methodology
Pollinators visit related plant species across 29 plant– pollinator networks
"... Understanding the evolution of specialization in host plant use by pollinators is community ecology, phylogenetic signal, plant–pollinator networks. often complicated by variability in the ecological context of specialization. Flowering communities offer their pollinators varying numbers and proport ..."

Plant-Pollinator Coextinctions and the Loss of Plant Functional and Phylogenetic Diversity
, 2013
"... Plant-pollinator coextinctions are likely to become more frequent as habitat alteration and climate change continue to threaten pollinators. The consequences of the resulting collapse of plant communities will depend partly on how quickly plant functional and phylogenetic diversity decline following ..."

Plant pollinator biodiversity and pollination services in a complex Mediterranean landscape
- Biological Conservation
, 2006
"... Using the Greek Island of Lesvos as a model system, we assess the biodiversity value of six common habitats and measure ecosystemic 'health' using pollen grain deposition in three core flowering plants as a measure of pollination services. Three fire-driven habitats were assessed: freshly ..."

Floral advertisement scent in a changing plant-pollinators market
"... Plant-pollinator systems may be considered as biological markets in which pollinators choose between different flowers that advertise their nectar/pollen rewards. Although expected to play a major role in structuring plant-pollinator interactions, community-wide patterns of flower scent signals rem ..."

Linkage Rules for Plant–Pollinator Networks: Trait Complementarity or Exploitation Barriers?
"... Recent attempts to examine the biological processes responsible for the general characteristics of mutualistic networks focus on two types of explanations: nonmatching biological attributes of species that prevent the occurrence of certain interactions (‘‘forbidden links’’), arising from trait compl ..."

two hypotheses (complementarity of traits versus barriers to exploitation) had on the topology of plant–pollination networks. Independent of the linkage rules used, the inclusion of a small set of traits (two to four) sufficed to account for the complex topological patterns observed in real
