Processes entangling interactions in communities: forbidden links are more important than abundance in a hummingbird-plant network.

TL;DR: Estimating the relative importance of species abundance and forbidden links in structuring a hummingbird–plant interaction network from the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil suggests that species abundance can be a less important driver of species interactions in communities than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological and Spatio-Temporal Mismatches Shape a Neotropical Savanna Plant-Hummingbird Network

TL;DR: It is proposed that traits matter more in tropical plant–hummingbird networks than in less specialized systems, and future research could employ geographic or taxonomic cross-system comparisons contrasting networks with known differences in level of specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influences of sampling effort on detected patterns and structuring processes of a Neotropical plant–hummingbird network

TL;DR: It is indicated that in networks strongly constrained by species traits, such as plant-hummingbird networks, even small sampling is sufficient to detect their relative importance for the frequencies of interactions, and encouraged the use of quantitative metrics little influenced by sampling when performing spatio-temporal comparisons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opposed latitudinal patterns of network‐derived and dietary specialization in avian plant–frugivore interaction systems

TL;DR: The results highlight the necessity of comparing different scales of biotic specialization for a better understanding of geographical patterns of specialization in resource-consumer interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The macroecology of phylogenetically structured hummingbird–plant networks

Ana M. Martín González, +40 more
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.
