Summary
Introduction
By far, most studies in ecology are about single species and their interactions with the surroundings, and this is also true in pollination ecology. However, species are members of communities of interacting species, i.e. networks. According to our definition, a network only includes species, whose linkage is spatially unconstrained, i.e. species may potentially meet in nature.
During the last decade, this gap between 1-species ecological research and nature’s overwhelming complexity has rapidly been bridged by a new generation of studies taking place at the network level. These studies offer fascinating new insight into a kind of natural history, which we term link ecology. In the first section, we trace the roots of pollination network ecology. Then we describe what this discipline is doing today, and finally we attempt to predict what is coming up in the near future.
