Plant diversity increases spatio-temporal niche complementarity in plant-pollinator interactions.
Ongoing biodiversity decline impairs ecosystem processes, including pollination. Flower visitation, an important indicator of pollination services, is influenced by plant species richness. However, the spatio-temporal responses of different pollinator groups to plant species richness have not yet been analyzed experimentally. Here, we used an experimental plant species richness gradient to anal...
متن کاملPyrodiversity begets plant-pollinator community diversity.
Fire has a major impact on the structure and function of many ecosystems globally. Pyrodiversity, the diversity of fires within a region (where diversity is based on fire characteristics such as extent, severity, and frequency), has been hypothesized to promote biodiversity, but changing climate and land management practices have eroded pyrodiversity. To assess whether changes in pyrodiversity ...
متن کاملEcology and evolution of plant-pollinator interactions.
BACKGROUND Some of the most exciting advances in pollination biology have resulted from interdisciplinary research combining ecological and evolutionary perspectives. For example, these two approaches have been essential for understanding the functional ecology of floral traits, the dynamics of pollen transport, competition for pollinator services, and patterns of specialization and generalizat...

متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Processes in Plant Communities
Ecological systems evolve in space and time. Until recently, however, research in ecology separately has focused either on the spatial domain (patterns) or on the temporal domain (processes). In this paper we describe novel approaches for progressing towards an integration of pattern and process, a goal long called for in ecology. First, we present a sequence of alternative stochastic models of...
