The disruption of mutualisms by invasive species has consequences for biodiversity loss
and ecosystem function. Although invasive plant effects on the pollination of individual …

We review the state of the art of alien plant research with emphasis on conceptual advances
and knowledge gains on general patterns and drivers, biotic interactions, and evolution …

Studies of pairwise interactions have shown that an alien plant can affect the pollination of a
native plant, this effect being mediated by shared pollinators. Here we use a manipulative …

The structural organization of mutualism networks, typified by interspecific positive
interactions, is important to maintain community diversity. However, there is little information …

We review direct and indirect impacts of invasive alien species (focussing on plants and
insects) on native bees worldwide. Although there is a rapidly growing body of research into …

The structure of plant–pollinator networks has been claimed to be resilient to changes in
species composition due to the weak degree of dependence among mutualistic partners …

Observations on foraging behaviour, time spent per flower and number of flowers visited per
minute by the two species of honey bee viz. Apis cerana and A. mellifera were made and a …

The S Iberian Peninsula and NW Africa constitute one of the main hotspots for plant
biodiversity within the Mediterranean Basin. At the core of this hotspot, across the Strait of …

Invasive non‐native plants form interactions with native species and have the potential to
cause direct and indirect impacts on those species, as well as the functioning of invaded …

Bees visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen that contain nutrients and simultaneously
facilitate plant sexual reproduction. Paradoxically, nectar produced to attract pollinators often …
