The long and the short of it: a global analysis of hawkmoth pollination niches and interaction networks
Proboscis length has been proposed as a key dimension of plant pollination niches, but this
niche space has not previously been explored at regional and global scales for any …

The influence of biogeographical and evolutionary histories on morphological trait‐matching and resource specialization in mutualistic hummingbird–plant networks
Functional traits can determine pairwise species interactions, such as those between plants
and pollinators. However, the effects of biogeography and evolutionary history on trait …

Persistent bill and corolla matching despite shifting temporal resources in tropical hummingbird‐plant interactions
BG Weinstein, CH Graham - Ecology letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
By specialising on specific resources, species evolve advantageous morphologies to
increase the efficiency of nutrient acquisition. However, many specialists face variation in …
