Understanding the relative importance of multiple processes on structuring species interactions
within communities is one of the major challenges in ecology. Here, we evaluated the …

Most tropical plants rely on animals for pollination, thus engaging in complex interaction
networks. Here, we present a global overview of pollination networks and point out research …

A major challenge in evolutionary ecology is to understand how co‐evolutionary processes
shape patterns of interactions between species at community level. Pollination of flowers …

A comparison between bat-pollinated plant assemblages at two sites in different altitudinal
ranges covered by the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil is presented. The lowlands (5–…

Aim Species interaction networks are known to vary in structure over large spatial scales.
We investigated the hypothesis that environmental factors affect interaction network structure …

That hummingbird-pollinated plants predominantly have red flowers has been known for
decades, but well-investigated research studies are still rare. Preference tests have shown that …

Relationships between ornithophilous flowers and hummingbirds have been little studied in
southern South America, where hummingbird species richness is low. We studied an …

Large-scale geographical patterns of biotic specialization and the underlying drivers are
poorly understood, but it is widely believed that climate plays an important role in determining …

The pollination by bats of the passion flower, Passiflora mucronata, has been studied in
southeastern Brazil. Experiments indicate that the flowers are self-incompatible. They are …

Virtually all empirical ecological interaction networks to some extent suffer from undersampling.
However, how limitations imposed by sampling incompleteness affect our understanding …
