Abstract

Mutualistic interactions are fundamental component of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and our understanding of these interactions at the community level has greatly advanced due increasing use of complex network approaches. Studies have revealed some consistent patterns on the organization of the "web of life", and network structural properties are suggested to have strong implications for the stability and dynamics of communities. Distinct processes may act to structure interactions networks, but recent studies have pointed to the importance of trait matching, especially for more specialized systems. Moreover, studies in the field have found a relationship among large scale climate gradients and networks structure. Although the patterns per se vary, this means that current climate change may affect the structure of interactions networks and consequently their dynamics and stability. In order to make more precise inferences on how species interactions will be affected owed to future environmental changes, it is first necessary to characterize how potential network structuring processes act on the relationship between large scale climate variables and interaction networks. In this project, we propose to investigate how species traits are linked to the structuring of the networks, both in relation to the variation of the network structure across a large geographical scale and in relation to potential for species to rearrange (or turnover) their interactions. For this purpose, we propose to mainly use a large dataset on plant-hummingbird interaction networks, which results from an international collaboration, with network data distributed across the Americas and which offer an unique opportunity to explore such questions.
