Constructing more informative plant–pollinator networks: visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community

Abstract: Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines. However, most networks to date are based on recording visits to flowers, rather than recording clearly defined effective pollination events. Here we provide the first networks that explicitly incorporate measures of pollinator effectiveness (PE) from pollen deposition on stigmas per visi… Show more

“…Mainstream pollinator models including honeybees (Galizia et al 2012; Avarguès-Weber and Giurfa 2014) and bumblebees (Goulson et al 2007;Leonard et al 2011) have provided significant insights into how sensory cues enable bees to reliably find flowers to collect nutrition (Leonard et al 2011;Dyer et al 2014), and incidentally transfer pollen to conspecific plant flowers (Proctor and Yeo 1973;Adler and Irwin 2006;Ballantyne et al 2015). Chittka and Menzel (1992) established that the spectral profile of flowers in the Northern Hemisphere (Israel) frequently have signal characteristics that closely match the region of the spectrum where honeybees have colour discrimination maxima (von Helversen 1972).…”

“…Watts et al 2012, reviewed by Ne'eman et al 2009). This is time consuming and technically difficult to do at a whole community level, never mind assessing it from a global perspective, though it is beginning to 8 be done for low diversity communities (Ballantyne et al 2015). There is also the added complication of intra-specific variation in pollination ability, e.g.…”
