Does competition for pollinators contribute to structuring Erica communities?

2014-05-01

Abstract excerpt

QUESTION: Pollinators are often implicated in the origin of plant species, but their role during the assembly of diverse plant communities has only rarely been investigated. Intra‐specific competition for pollinators can theoretically facilitate plant species co‐occurrence by limiting the density of any one species, while inter‐specific competition can potentially structure communities through the exclusion of inf...
