Changing pollinator communities along a disturbance gradient in the Sundarbans mangrove forest: a case study onAcanthus ilicifoliusandAvicennia officinalis
Abstract:The Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO world heritage site has been facing an increasing pressure of habitat destruction. Yet, no study has been conducted to test how human disturbances are affecting plant-pollinator interactions in this unique ecosystem. Hence, our aim was to provide the first study of the impact of habitat loss and human disturbances on plantpollinator interactions in the Sundarbans. We selected 12 sites in the North-Western region of the Sundarbans, along a gr… Show more
