• Restoration of Nontarget Species: Bee Communities and Pollination Function in Riparian Forests (2011, background): “It has been used to characterize pollinator–plant interactions for a variety of different communities in different ecosystems (Jordano 1987; Jordano et al. 2003; Vázquez & Aizen 2004; Forup & Memmott 2005; Morales & Aizen 2006; Vila et al. 2009).”
• Community structure of pollination webs of Mauritian heathland habitats (2009, background): “plants with low linkage; Petanidou and Potts, 2006), honey bees in Pétrin were equally associated with common, generalised plant species and poorly visited, rare species, a pattern frequently observed in highly generalised taxa in pollination webs (interaction asymmetry; e.g., Bascompte et al., 2003”
• The Structure of Plant-Animal Mutualistic Networks (2006, background): “…discussions have revolved around how ecological 1the alternative, transposed arrangement with animals as rows and plants as columns is also frequently used conclusions depend on the choice of a null model (Cook and Quinn 1998, Gotelli 2001, Fischer and Lindenmayer 2002, Vázquez and Aizen 2003).”
• Plant reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation: review and synthesis through a meta-analysis. (2006, background): “…pollinators whereas G plants are pollinated by both specialist and generalist pollinators (Vázquez & Simberloff 2002; Bascompte et al. 2003; Vázquez & Aizen 2004); and (ii) the fact that generalist pollinators, which are able to feed on a wide array of flower species, are less affected…”
• Species traits and abundances predict metrics of plant–pollinator network structure, but not pairwise interactions (2015, background): “Under the neutrality hypothesis, species interact randomly, resulting in interaction frequencies proportional to relative species abundances (V á zquez and Aizen 2004, Canard et al. 2014).”
• Measuring specialization in species interaction networks (2006, neutral): “[1,3,7,8,28].”
• Bees in disturbed habitats use, but do not prefer, alien plants (2011, background): “Super-generalist plant species appear ommonly in plant–pollinator interaction webs (Bascompte Jordano 2007; Vázquez & Aizen 2004; Vázquez, Blüthgen, agnolo & Chacoff 2009) and highly linked alien plant pecies have been reported in disturbed habitats from other egions (Aizen et al. 2008; but see…”
