Merging theory and experiments to predict and understand coextinctions
In an era of mass extinction, predicting the consequences of species loss has become a
priority for ecologists. Extinction of one species can trigger the loss of dependent species …

Experimental loss of generalist plants reveals alterations in plant-pollinator interactions and a constrained flexibility of foraging
Species extinctions undermine ecosystem functioning, with the loss of a small subset of
functionally important species having a disproportionate impact. However, little is known …

An empirical attack tolerance test alters the structure and species richness of plant–pollinator networks
Ecological network theory hypothesizes that the structuring of species interactions can
convey stability to the system. Investigating how these structures react to species loss is …

Removing flowers of a generalist plant changes pollinator visitation, composition, and interaction network structure
Pollination is essential for ecosystem functioning, yet our understanding of the empirical
consequences of species loss for plant–pollinator interactions remains limited. It is …

Improving the pollinator pantry: Restoration and management of open farmland ponds enhances the complexity of plant-pollinator networks
In line with general biodiversity losses across agricultural landscapes, insect pollinators
have experienced recent sharp declines. A range of conservation measures have been …
