By facilitating plant reproduction, pollinators perform a crucial ecological function that
supports the majority of the world's plant diversity, and associated organisms, and a …

Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

Biotic interactions underlie ecosystem structure and function, but predicting interaction
outcomes is difficult. We tested the hypothesis that biotic interaction strength increases …

Ecological networks have a long history in ecology, and a recent increase in network
analyses across environmental gradients has revealed important changes in their structure …

Forest canopies are dynamic interfaces between organisms and atmosphere, providing
buffered microclimates and complex microhabitats. Canopies form vertically stratified …

The idea of pollination syndromes has been largely discussed but no formal quantitative
evaluation has yet been conducted across angiosperms. We present the first systematic …

Knowledge of species composition and their interactions, in the form of interaction networks,
is required to understand processes sha** their distribution over time and space. As such …

A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their
relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The …

Ecological networks are often composed of different subcommunities (often referred to as
modules). Identifying such modules has the potential to develop a better understanding of …
