The study of plant–animal interactions using ecological networks as a tool has been
intensified in recent years. However, one of the biggest criticisms of these studies is how
sampling effort can affect the observed interaction patterns within these plant–animal
networks. In this study we empirically evaluated how variation in sampling effort (comparing
cumulative vs monthly sampled networks) influences the values of network descriptors more
frequently used in the literature (ie number of links per species, network size, diversity of …
