Assessing the effects of habitat fragmentation on plant pollinator networks in dune slacks using metabarcoding and linking the network structures with plant fitness KU Leuven
A classic prediction of co-evolutionary theory is that mutualists should restrict their associations to a limited number of high-quality partners in order for the interaction to remain stable. However, in practice most mutualists either simultaneously or sequentially associate with multiple partners that confer the same reward. One of the best-known mutualisms is between plants and animal pollinators. In this mutualism, generalist plants that ...
