Ecological networks are more sensitive to plant than to animal extinction under climate change

Ecological networks are more sensitive to plant than to animal extinction under climate change

In addition to affecting individual species, climate change can modify species interactions. Coupling simulation models with networks between plants and animal pollinators and seed dispersers, Schleuninget al. show that animal persistence under climate change depends more strongly on plant persisten...
