To provide this overview, we (i) assess the extent to which plants and hummingbirds have coevolved over millions of years, (ii) examine the mechanisms underlying plant–hummingbird interaction frequencies and hummingbird specialization, (iii) explore the factors driving the decline of hummingbird populations, and (iv) map out directions for ...
28 mar 2022 · Using 84 communities of interacting plants and hummingbirds, we simulated patterns in climate-driven extinctions, coextinctions and colonizations under future climate change scenarios.
The network illustrates interacting hummingbirds (circles) and plants (squares) over two simulation iterations. At the first iteration (t = 1), climate change causes the loss of one...
11 mar 2020 · To do so, we analysed a unique dataset consisting of 24 plant–hummingbird interaction networks distributed from central Mexico to southern Brazil (20°N–30°S). For each plant and hummingbird species within these networks, we have additional information on phenologies, morphologies and abundances.
1 cze 2022 · We compiled a database of 93 mutualistic hummingbird‐plant networks (including 181 hummingbird and 1,256 plant species), complemented by morphological measures of hummingbird bill and...
ABSTRACT. The ecological co-dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a mutualistic interaction: hum-mingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms, and more than 7000 plant species rely on hummingbirds for pollination.
