Interspecific competition underlying mutualistic networks
The architecture of bipartite networks linking two classes of constituents is affected by the interactions within each class. For the bipartite networks representing the mutualistic relationship between pollinating animals and plants, it has been known ...

Native bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and berry polycultures: Studying farmers’ motivations for diversification and the impact of mass floral resources on pollinator communities [PDF]
Floral resource continuity is an important component in pollinator conservation. Mass blooms early in the season may bolster pollinator communities on sequentially flowering crops by creating a resource pulse in an agricultural landscape.
