That evolutionary history can influence the way that species interact is a basic tenet of
evolutionary ecology. However, when the role of evolution in determining ecological …

Mutualistic interactions are at the core of community dynamics, determining dispersal,
colonization and differential survival and reproduction among individuals and species …

Similarity among species in traits related to ecological interactions is frequently associated
with common ancestry. Thus, closely related species usually interact with ecologically …

Interaction webs, or networks, define how the members of two or more trophic levels interact.
However, the traits that mediate network structure have not been widely investigated …

Understanding the causes and consequences of specialization in species interactions is
central to ecology and evolutionary biology. This knowledge is important because …

Plant–pollinator interactions are often thought to have been a decisive factor in the
diversification of flowering plants, but to be of little or no importance for the maintenance of …

Plants and their pollinators form pollination networks integral to the evolution and
persistence of species in communities. Previous studies suggest that pollination network …

Vigorous discussion of the degree of specialization in pollination interactions, combined with
advances in the analysis of complex networks, has revitalized the study of entire plant …

A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is how microevolutionary processes
translate into species diversification. Cophylogeny provides an appropriate framework to …

The interactions between plants and pollinators represent complex pollination networks.
Recent improvements in social network analysis provide suitable tools for plant-pollinator …
