Phenological patterns and pollination network structure in a Venezuelan páramo: a community-scale perspective on plant-animal interactions

Background: Little information is available about life history of páramo plants such as phenology and plant-animal interactions.Aims: We analysed phenological patterns of flowering and characterised the structure of a plant-pollinator network in a Venezuelan páramo in order to identify key species in this ecosystem.Methods: We counted the number of individuals with flowers of 76 native plant species and recorded their pollinators in 16 permanent...
