Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant-pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

High Temporal Beta-Diversity of Pollinators in Early Successional Forests After Windthrow. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe described the temporal dynamics of vascular plants and pollinating insects by sampling the same windthrow sites after 3 and 5 years from a major storm event in the Italian Alps. Pollinator communities exhibited high temporal β‐diversity, while the understory plant community changed the least.
