Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.
