enhanced stability and robustness, is a subject of outmost relevance. Mutualistic interactions …

In many real-world networks, the ability to withstand targeted or global attacks; extinctions; or
shocks is vital to the survival of the network itself, and of dependent structures such as …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 797–803 Abstract Nested architecture is distinctive in plant–
animal mutualistic networks. However, to date an integrative and quantitative explanation …

Wasps are understudied in their contribution to pollination services. In order to better
understand the ecological contribution of wasp communities to plant pollination, we …

Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research,
with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect …

Ecologists have been compiling ecological networks for over a century, detailing the
interactions between species in a variety of ecosystems. To this end, they have built …
