DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9442
Abstract: Abstract Ecological restoration programs are established to reverse land degradation, mitigate biodiversity loss, and reinstate ecosystem services. Following recent agricultural intensification that led to a decrease in flower diversity and density in rural areas and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-24149-x
Abstract: Empirical measurements of ecological networks such as food webs and mutualistic networks are often rich in structure but also noisy and error-prone, particularly for rare species for which observations are sparse. Focusing on the case… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12749
Abstract: Empirical studies have found that the mutualistic interactions forming the structure of plant-pollinator networks are typically more nested than expected by chance alone. Additionally, theoretical studies have shown a positive association between the nested structure… read more here.

Temporal variation in plant–pollinator networks from seasonal tropical environments: Higher specialization when resources are scarce

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.12978
Abstract: The temporal dynamics of plant phenology and pollinator abundance across seasons should influence the structure of plant–pollinator interaction networks. Nevertheless, such dynamics are seldom considered, especially for diverse tropical networks. Here, we evaluated the temporal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16943
Abstract: Caraway (Carum carvi L.) is a crop species with a gaining importance in Europe, especially as a condiment and medicinal plant. Here, we present the plant-pollinator network of caraway in a central European agricultural landscape,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209406
Abstract: Plant-pollinator networks have been widely used to understand the ecology of mutualistic interactions between plants and animals. While a number of general patterns have been identified, the mechanisms underlying the structure of plant-pollinator networks are… read more here.
