Grazing alters insect visitation networks and plant mating systems

2014-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Many flowering plant species have a facultative or obligate dependence on insect pollination for reproductive success. Anthropogenic disturbance may alter these species interactions, but the extent to which structural changes to plant‐pollinator networks affect plant species mating systems is not well understood. We used long‐term livestock grazing of a birch wood ecosystem to test whether disturbance of this semi...
