Downscaling mutualistic networks from species to individuals reveals consistent interaction niches and roles within plant populations

The study of mutualistic interactions among species has received considerable attention over the past 30 years. However, less is known about the structure of individual interaction configurations within species. Recently, individual-based networks …

Reciprocity and interaction effectiveness in generalised mutualisms among free-living species

Mutualistic interactions among free-living species generally involve weak links and highly asymmetric dependence among partners, yet our understanding of factors beyond their emergence is still limited. Using individual-based interactions of a …
