Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Wild bee scopa held a higher quantity and diversity of pollen than the rest of the female body.
- Observation These pollen differences did not produce differences in network structure between plant-pollination and bee-feeding interaction networks.
- Observation Networks built with pollen data were richer in plant species and interactions than visitation networks from field observations.
- Observation Pollen-based networks showed lower modularity and specialization (H2) than visitation networks.
- Observation Pollen-based networks showed higher nestedness than visitation networks based on field observations.
- Observation Females were more generalist than males.
- Observation Females tended to be more central in interaction networks.
