Landscape type and floral resources modify plant-pollinator network structure and stability: implications for pathogen exchange. VOODOO Consortium
2022
Pollinators face multiple, potentially interacting threats from human activities. The Biodiversa VOODOO project (https://voodoo-project.eu/) seeks to understand how landscape-use, through its impact on floral resources, affects plant-pollinator communities and the transmission of viruses between pollinator species. We present initial results to show how the architecture of plant-pollinator networks varies among agricultural, habitat mosaic, and urban landscapes, with consequences for co-extinctions. We show how modification of floral resources can affect network structure to shape interspecific transmission of viral pathogens and we provide early results that show how niche overlap among sp…
The interplay of landscape composition and configuration: new pathways to manage functional biodiversity and agroecosystem services across Europe
2019
Managing agricultural landscapes to support biodiversity and ecosystem services is a key aim of a sustainable agriculture. However, how the spatial arrangement of crop fields and other habitats in landscapes impacts arthropods and their functions is poorly known. Synthesising data from 49 studies (1515 landscapes) across Europe, we examined effects of landscape composition (% habitats) and configuration (edge density) on arthropods in fields and their margins, pest control, pollination and yields. Configuration effects interacted with the proportions of crop and non-crop habitats, and species’ dietary, dispersal and overwintering traits led to contrasting responses to landscape variables. O…

Pollinators face multiple, potentially interacting threats from human activities. The Biodiversa VOODOO project (https://voodoo-project.eu/) seeks to understand how land-use, through its impact on floral resources, affects plant pollinator communities and the transmission of viruses between pollinator species. Land-use can modify plant-pollinator network structure (e.g. connectance, nestedness, modularity) in ways that modulate the vulnerability of communities to coextinctions propagated through losses of interspecific links between mutualist partners.Using a Stochastic Co-extinction Model (SCM) we correlated plant-pollinator coextinction cascades with network structure in agricultural, rur…
