Fine-tuning the buzz: comparing visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in plant-pollinator networks. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.
