Global patterns of interaction specialization in bird–flower networks (2017, methodology): “Finally, modularity is a network pattern that emerges when some species interact strongly with each other, but less so with the remaining species, thereby creating strongly connected sub-groups within a less connected network (Dormann & Strauss, 2014; Maruyama et al., 2014; Olesen et al., 2007).”
Evaluation of pollination syndromes in Antillean Gesneriaceae: evidence for bat, hummingbird and generalized flowers (2009, background): “Community and taxon surveys predominantly from temperate regions reveal that many flowers have generalized visitation patterns (e.g. Robertson 1928; Lindsey 1984; Herrera 1996; Olesen et al. 2007), pollinator communities vary in time and space (e.”
