Ecological interactions in nature occur between individual partners rather than species, and their outcomes determine fitness variation. By examining among-individual variation in interaction niches, we can bridge evolutionary and ecological perspectives to understand interaction biodiversity. This study investigates individual plant variation in frugivore assemblages worldwide, exploring how individual plants “build” their interaction profiles with animal frugivores. Surprisingly, the structure of networks composed of individuals was indistinguishable from networks composed of species. Independently of species or region, interaction frequencies among frugivore partners was highly skewed, with a small subset of species providing most interactions. Additionally, within populations, only a few plants played a key role in attracting a high diversity of frugivores, making them central to the overall network structure.

Nominated by the British Ecological Society for the BES Marsh Ecology Book of the Year Award, 2016. Honored sharing this with three other titles.Mutualistic interactions among plants and animals have played a paramount role in shaping biodiversity. Yet the majority of studies on mutualistic interactions have involved only a few species, as opposed to broader mutual connections between communities of organisms. Mutualistic Networks is the first book to comprehensively explore this burgeoning field. Integrating different approaches, from the statistical description of network structures to the development of new analytical frameworks, we describe the architecture of these mutualistic networks and show their importance for the robustness of biodiversity and the coevolutionary process.
Making a case for why we should care about mutualisms and their complex networks, this book offers a new perspective on the study and synthesis of this growing area for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. -
