摘要
Examination of previous results and computational analysis of empirical data sets representing mutualistic plant–pollinator networks shows that a simple metric—the number of mutualistic partners a species has—is a better predictor of individual species survival (and hence, community persistence) than is the nestedness of ecological networks.
