Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at
faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record …

Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Whether species interactions are static or change over time has wide‐reaching ecological
and evolutionary consequences. However, species interaction networks are typically …

Sampling ecological interactions presents similar challenges, problems, potential biases
and constraints as sampling individuals and species in biodiversity inventories. Robust …

Ecological networks of species interactions are popular and provide powerful analytical
tools for understanding variation in community structure and ecosystem functioning …

Most studies of plant–animal mutualistic networks have come from a temporally static
perspective. This approach has revealed general patterns in network structure, but limits our …

Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most
flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge of their distribution …

Ecologists have long suspected that species are more likely to interact if their traits match in
a particular way. For example, a pollination interaction may be more likely if the proportions …

Species interactions, ranging from antagonisms to mutualisms, form the architecture of
biodiversity and determine ecosystem functioning. Understanding the rules responsible for …

Most tropical plants rely on animals for pollination, thus engaging in complex interaction
networks. Here, we present a global overview of pollination networks and point out research …
