Diversity of Interactions: A Metric for Studies of Biodiversity (2010, unknown): “Nevertheless, there has been little effort to quantify interaction diversity in the same way that species diversity has been catalogued, mapped, highlighted, and used as a predictor or response variable in ecological studies (Ollerton & Cranmer 2002).”
Is the notion that species interactions are stronger and more specialized in the tropics a zombie idea? (2016, background): “However, tropical plants are not more ecologically specialized, in terms of the number of pollinating animal species servicing each plant (Ollerton & Cranmer 2002).”
Strength, slope and variability of marine latitudinal gradients (2004, background): “Except for the inconsistencies of stronger or weaker interactions at higher latitudes, many studies falsified the proposition of interactions being more specific (Beaver 1979, Ollerton & Cranmer 2002), more intense (Hubbell 1980), or more density-dependent (Lambers et al. 2002) in the tropics.”
Sampling networks of ecological interactions (2015, background): “…the analysis of ecological networks (Jordano, 1987), only recent studies have explicitly acknowledged it and attempted to determine its influence (Ollerton & Cranmer, 2002; Nielsen & Bascompte, 2007; Vázquez, Chacoff & Cagnolo, 2009; Gibson et al., 2011; Olesen et al., 2011; Chacoff et al.,…”
A land for flowers and bees: studying pollination ecology in Mediterranean communities (2005, background): “…the structure of the pollinator communities will be biased if only a few species of plants or pollinators are studied or studies are temporally limited (Waser et al., 1996; Petanidou & Ellis, 1996; Memmott, 1999; Ollerton & Cranmer, 2002; Vázquez & Aizen, 2003, 2006; Medan et al., 2005).”
Geographical context of floral evolution: towards an improved research programme in floral diversification (2006, background): “It must be stressed that, to allow for reliable geographical comparisons, pollinator composition studies should pay careful attention to sampling issues, as discussed in detail by Ollerton and Cranmer (2002) and Herrera (2005), for example.”
Pollinator Diversity: Distribution, Ecological Function, and Conservation (2017, background): “However, the hypothesis that tropical plant–pollinator interactions are more specialized has rarely been tested, and those tests have resulted in mixed findings (e.g., Olesen & Jordano 2002, Ollerton & Cranmer 2002).”
