Vulnerable species interactions are important for the stability of mutualistic networks

B. I. Simmons, H. S. Wauchope, T. Amano, L. V. Dicks, W. J. Sutherland, V. Dakos

The paper quantifies the risk of mutualistic interactions based on vulnerability and importance across 41 pollination and seed dispersal networks, finding that more vulnerable interactions are also more important for network stability.

Abundance drives broad patterns of generalisation in plant-hummingbird pollination networks

B. I. Simmons, J. Vizentin-Bugoni, P. K. Maruyama, P. A. Cotton, O. H. Marin-Gomez, C. Lara, L. R. Lasprilla, M. A. Maglianesi, R. Ortiz-Pulido, M. A. Rocca, L. C. Rodrigues, B. Tinoco, M. F. Vasconcelos, M. Sazima, A. M. Martin Gonzalez, , W. J. Sutherland

The paper investigates the direction of the abundance-generalisation relationship in plant-hummingbird pollination networks and finds that abundance drives generalisation, supported by neutral processes.

Uncovering indirect interactions in bipartite ecological networks

B. I. Simmons, A. Cirtwill, N. Baker, L. V. Dicks, D. B. Stouffer, W. J. Sutherland

The paper introduces a framework using bipartite motifs to analyze indirect interactions in ecological networks, showing how they reveal ecological differences missed by traditional metrics.
