The robustness of plant-pollinator assemblages: linking plant interaction patterns and sensitivity to pollinator loss.

Most flowering plants depend on pollinators to reproduce. Thus, evaluating the robustness of plant-pollinator assemblages to species loss is a major concern. How species interaction patterns are related to species sensitivity to partner loss may influence the robustness of plant-pollinator assemblag...
