Description
Summary:<p>(a) and without-honey bees networks (b). a) Relationships between honey bee abundance and the network metrics: (i) pollinator functional complementarity, (ii) plant functional complementarity, and (iii) interaction evenness that were significantly related to honey bee abundance across three datasets (full season all taxa, mid-season all taxa, and full season bees-only). Solid regression lines indicate significant relationships with Bonferroni-Holm correction, whereas dotted lines indicate insignificant relationships. b) Relationships between honey bee abundance and the network metrics: (i) pollinator niche overlap, (ii) pollinator functional complementarity, (iii) plant functional complementarity, (iv) weighted connectance, and (v) interaction evenness in the without-honey bees dataset. Dashed regression lines indicate non-significant relationships with Bonferroni-Holm correction. Although (i) and (iv) appear to contain trends, these cannot be unambiguously attributed to honey bee abundance, as they can be explained by flower community variables and collection effort (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0287332#pone.0287332.t002" target="_blank">Table 2D</a>) that were somewhat correlated with honey bee abundance (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0287332#pone.0287332.s009" target="_blank">S4 Table</a>).</p>
