Specialization in Plant-Hummingbird Networks Is Associated with Species Richness, Contemporary Precipitation and Quaternary Climate-Change Velocity
Bo Dalsgaard,Bo Dalsgaard,Bo Dalsgaard,Else Magård,Jon Fjeldså,Ana M. Martín González,Carsten Rahbek,Jens M. Olesen,Jeff Ollerton,Ruben Alarcón,Andréa Cardoso Araujo,Peter A. Cotton,Carlos Lara,Caio Graco Machado,Ivan Sazima,Marlies Sazima,Allan Timmermann,Stella Watts,Stella Watts,Brody Sandel,William J. Sutherland,Jens-Christian Svenning +21 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that both ecological and evolutionary processes at Quaternary time scales can be important in driving large-scale geographical patterns of contemporary biotic specialization, at least for co-evolved systems such as plant-hummingbird networks.

TL;DR: Higher levels of specialization and modularity were associated with species-rich communities and communities in which closely related hummingbirds visited distinct sets of flowering species, indicating a tighter co-evolutionary association between hummingbirds and their plants than in previously studied plant–bird mutualistic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferential nectar robbing of flowers with long corollas: experimental studies of two hummingbird species visiting three plant species.
TL;DR: It is suggested that short-billed hummingbirds with enlarged bill serrations (the edge of both tomia finely toothed) may have an advantage in illegitimately feeding at long-corolla flowers, raising the possibility of counter-selection on increasing corolla length by nectar robbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal dynamics of flower use by hummingbirds in a highland temperate forest in Mexico
TL;DR: It is suggested that the availability and quality of resources can explain the temporal and spatial composition of the hummingbird community on a local scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: As expected, hummingbirds and their floral resources have greater interaction specialization than honeyeaters, possibly because of greater phenotypic specialization and greater floral resource richness in the New World.
