Most tropical plants rely on animals for pollination, thus engaging in complex interaction
networks. Here, we present a global overview of pollination networks and point out research …

The ecological co‐dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a
mutualistic interaction: hummingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms …

Species distribution models (SDMs), which relate recorded observations (presences) and
absences or background points to environmental characteristics, are powerful tools used to …

Generalism in resource use is commonly considered a critical driver of population success,
species distribution and extinction risk. This idea can be questioned as generalism may be a …

Functional traits can determine pairwise species interactions, such as those between plants
and pollinators. However, the effects of biogeography and evolutionary history on trait …

Interactions between species are influenced by different ecological mechanisms, such as
morphological matching, phenological overlap and species abundances. How these …

Abstract Background and Aims Modularity is a ubiquitous and important structural property
of ecological networks which describes the relative strengths of sets of interacting species …

Endemic species represent an important component of biodiversity. They are functionally
and evolutionarily distinct from cosmopolitan species, and are under greater threat of …

Aim Niche theory proposes that increases in species richness along an environmental
gradient are associated with a packing of species inside the niche space or an expansion of …

Oceanic islands are of fundamental importance for the conservation of biodiversity because
they exhibit high endemism rates coupled with fast extinction rates. Nowhere in Europe is …
