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 ecological co-dependency between plants and hummingbirds is a classic example of a mutualistic interaction: hummingbirds rely on floral nectar to fuel their rapid metabolisms, and more than 7000 plant species rely on hummingbirds for pollination.
The plant–hummingbird system meets both of these criteria as the hummingbird’s geographic distributions are well known19,20 and their interactions with plants were recently supported by a...
1 cze 2022 · We employed a replicated Before-After-Control-Impact experimental design and quantified plant-hummingbird interactions using two parallel sampling methods: pollen collected from individual ...
31 maj 2023 · In this study, we simulated the local extinction of a hummingbird-pollinated understory plant, Heliconia tortuosa, from tropical forest fragments using a replicated before-after-control-impact (BACI) design while quantifying hummingbird abundance and space use (383 hummingbird captures and 36 radio-tagged individuals), flower visitation rates ...
Extinction, coextinction and colonization dynamics in plant–hummingbird networks under climate change Jesper Sonne * , Pietro K. Maruyama, Ana M. Martín González, Carsten Rahbek , Jordi Bascompte, Bo Dalsgaard
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.
