Dominant pollinators drive non-random community assembly and shared flower colour patterns in daisy communities

As most plants rely on pollination for persistence in communities, pollination interactions should be important determinants of plant community assembly. Here, trait and phylogenetic null modelling approaches were combined with pollinator interaction networks to elucidate the processes structuring flower colour assembly patterns in Asteraceae communities in Namaqualand, South Africa. Plant species were assigned to flower colour pattern...
