Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 93-105, January 2026.We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1137-1147, December 2025.Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.
