Research Abstract

This study investigated what characterized plant-pollinator interactions in tropical forests and their evolution using two approaches. The first approach was to estimate evolution of pollination systems of selected plant groups. It confirmed that pollination system had frequently changed, while options of pollination systems each group had might be very limited. The second was analyses of plant-pollinator network structure of the whole community. Comparison of network structure of tropical communities with those of other regions revealed that tropical communities more severely suffer from pollinator shortage, and it is a major factor that structure plant-pollinator networks.
