Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and DiversityResponses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Rapid evolution of a floral trait following acquisition of novel pollinators
Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 2234-2246, May 2021., 2021 We test whether the acquisition of a new pollinator functional group (hummingbirds) can lead to rapid evolution of flowers after the recent trans‐continental range expansion of Digitalis purpurea. In naturalised populations in two separate regions in the Americas, we found convergent changes and strong selection for larger proximal corolla tubes, a ...
