1. Moths (L epidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their
importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have …

Islands harbour much of the world's threatened biodiversity. Recent work has highlighted
how it is not species diversity per se but rather the interactions between organisms that …

Plant–animal mutualisms are characterized by weak or asymmetric mutual dependences
between interacting species, a feature that could increase community stability. If invasive …

Aim Interacting communities of species are organized into complex networks, and network
analysis is reckoned to be a strong tool for describing their architecture. Many species …

The search for general properties in the structure of ecological networks is currently a very
active area of research. Meta‐analyses of published networks are a widely used technique …

The unique biodiversity of most oceanic archipelagos is currently threatened by the
introduction of alien species that can displace native biota, disrupt native ecological …

Mutualistic interactions, those that are naturally beneficial for both interacting species, are
recurrently found in ecosystems. Observations of natural systems show that if we draw …

Epiphytes are an important component of many forested ecosystems, yet our understanding
of epiphyte communities lags far behind that of terrestrial‐based plant communities. This …

Summary 1 Trophic relationships are often depicted as networks, in which species are
connected by links representing predatory interactions. Network analyses have also been …

Land-use change is among the top drivers of global biodiversity loss, which impacts the
arrangement and distribution of suitable habitat for species. Population-level effects include …
