“…However, because most plant–pollinator relationships are not strictly specialist (not exclusive; Menz et al, ; Vázquez & Aizen, ), field data show that species often interact with alternative partners in the absence of, or in addition to, favoured partners and loss of a species does not inevitably mean extinction for its partners (Carstensen, Sabatino, Trøjelsgaard, & Morellato, ; Trøjelsgaard, Jordano, Carstensen, & Olesen, ; Tylianakis & Morris, ). Moreover, modelling studies have found large differences in network stability and resilience when nodes are allowed to dynamically rewire (CaraDonna et al, ; Gilljam, Curtsdotter, & Ebenman, ). Given the wide variation in quality, quantity and availability of resource rewards offered by plant species, and behavioural attributes and physiological requirements of pollinators, pollinators’ choices of partners and alternative partners is unlikely to be random (Trøjelsgaard et al, ).…”
