Mendiko larreetako polinizatzaileen bazka-portaera aldaketak denbora eta espazioan

Abstract

Interactions between living organisms are the basis of the structure of biodiversity and create complex and dynamic ecological networks. In particular, plant-pollinator mutualistic networks support the reproductive success of plants. These interaction networks are not static and should be studied over space and time. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the dynamics of the mutualist plant-pollinator network in the Gorbea Natural Park, identifying the different factors that affect its variability. In addition to confirming the dinamic nature of these networks, the study has shown that the abundance of plant resources at each moment and that pollinators´ interactions with competitors have an impact on the foraging behaviour of pollinators.
