Fig 2. Connectedness in pollination community. In a) pollinator species each visit multiple plant species and plant species each have multiple pollinator species. As such, competitive effects can propagate across the whole pollination community even though not all pollinator species visit all plant species and vice versa . In b) each pollinator species only visits one plant species and vice versa . Competitive effects are, therefore, confined within the 3 species pairs of plant and pollinator.
