Predicting plant–pollinator interactions: concepts, methods, and challenges
Plant–pollinator interactions are ecologically and economically important, and, as a result,
their prediction is a crucial theoretical and applied goal for ecologists. Although various …

Plants, pollinators and their interactions under global ecological change: The role of pollen DNA metabarcoding
Anthropogenic activities are triggering global changes in the environment, causing entire
communities of plants, pollinators and their interactions to restructure, and ultimately leading …

Patterns and drivers of pollen co‐transport network structure vary across pollinator functional groups
The patterns and drivers of pollen transport on insect bodies can have important
consequences for plant reproductive success and floral evolution; however, they remain little …

Community-wide patterns in pollen and ovule production, their ratio (P/O), and other floral traits along an elevation gradient in southwestern China
Background As the male and female gametophytes of flowering plants, pollen and ovules
largely determine the upper and lower boundaries of plant reproductive success. It is …

Pollen analysis reveals the effects of uncovered interactions, pollen‐carrying structures, and pollinator sex on the structure of wild bee–plant networks
Pollination networks are increasingly used to model the complexity of interactions between
pollinators and flowering plants in communities. Different methods exist to sample these …

Plant‐centred sampling estimates higher beta diversity of interactions than pollinator‐based sampling across habitats
When describing plant–animal interaction networks, sampling can be performed using plant‐
or animal‐centred approaches. Despite known effects of sampling on network structure, how …

A review of the challenges and opportunities for restoring animal-mediated pollination of native plants
Ecological restoration is increasingly implemented to reverse habitat loss and concomitant
declines in biological diversity. Typically, restoration success is evaluated by measuring the …
