Journal ArticleDOI
The nested assembly of plant-animal mutualistic networks
TL;DR: It is shown that mutualistic networks are highly nested; that is, the more specialist species interact only with proper subsets of those species interacting with the more generalists, which generates highly asymmetrical interactions and organizes the community cohesively around a central core of interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The modularity of pollination networks.
TL;DR: If these key species go extinct, modules and networks may break apart and initiate cascades of extinction, Thus, species serving as hubs and connectors should receive high conservation priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-Animal Mutualistic Networks: The Architecture of Biodiversity
Jordi Bascompte,Pedro Jordano +1 more
TL;DR: The mutually beneficial interactions between plants and their animal pollinators and seed dispersers have been paramount in the generation of Earth's biodiversity and understanding how coevolution proceeds in these highly diversified mutualisms among free-living species presents a conceptual challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric coevolutionary networks facilitate biodiversity maintenance
TL;DR: By using a simple dynamical model, it is shown that asymmetries inherent in coevolutionary networks may enhance long-term coexistence and facilitate biodiversity maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review
TL;DR: The SDE framework successfully captures the complexities of seed dispersal and is advocated an expanded use of the term dispersal encompassing the multiple recruitment stages from fruit to adult if the authors are to understand the central relevance of Seed dispersal in plant ecology and evolution.
