Network analysis of phenological units to detect important species in plant-pollinator assemblages: can it inform conservation strategies?
- P. Biella, J. Ollerton, M. Barcella, S. Assini
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 2017
Using a network approach, a list of important plant and pollinator species are obtained, including three Network Hubs of utmost importance, and other hubs of particular biogeographical interest, to help to preserve the greatest number of interactions and thus support many other species.

Morphological and Chemical Traits of Cladonia Respond to Multiple Environmental Factors in Acidic Dry Grasslands
- G. Gheza, L. Di Nuzzo, S. Assini
- Environmental ScienceMicroorganisms
- 1 February 2021
Traits’ correlations with vegetation dynamics elucidate their colonization patterns in open dry habitats or suggest biotic interactions with bryophytes and vascular plants and correlations between metabolites and environmental factors support interpretations of their ecological roles.
