摘要：

The pollination biology literature is dominated by examples of specialization between plants and their pollinators. However, a recent review shows that it is generalization that prevails in the held, with most plants having a number of pollinators and most pollinators visiting a number of plants. Consequently, the vast majority of plant-pollinator interactions are embedded in a complex web of plant-pollinator interactions. These plant-pollinator webs can be studied in the manner of conventional food webs and the aim of this paper is to illustrate how contemporary methods of web construction and analysis can be applied to plant-pollinator communities.
