The structure of plant-pollinator communities in response to global change
Despite evidence that climate warming shifts pollinator phenologies, a lack of general assessment for these shifts has hampered exploring the consequences of climate warming on the seasonal structure of pollinator assemblages and on the functioning of plant-pollinator networks. To investigate these issues, we combine the analysis of occurrence data of more than 2000 flower visitor species across Europe and models of the dynamics of plant-pollinator networks. Our results show an average advancement and a shortening of pollinator phenologies across Europe over the years, which also depends on species evolutionary history, seasonal earliness as well as latitude. We show that these shifts have likely altered the seasonal distribution of pollination function by decreasing overlap among pollinators’ phenologies within European assemblages, except in the most northeastern part of Europe. Such changes in overlap between pollinators’ phenologies are expected to decrease the functional redundancy and complementarity of pollinator assemblages and might alter the robustness of plant-pollinator networks to ongoing pollinator extinctions.

Spatio-temporal dynamics in plant-pollinator interactions
Plant-pollinator interactions vary in space and time, yet we tend to study them as static and consistent. Unless we account for such dynamics when gathering and analyzing interaction data, we will not have a deep understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes that structure these systems, limiting our capacity to forecast species responses to perturbations. I will give an overview of the current knowledge on spatio-temporal dynamics of pollination communities – providing examples from different systems – and of new methods and frameworks that explicity account for such.

Landscapes that work for bees and agriculture
Ecological intensification aims to increase crop productivity by enhancing biodiversity and associated ecosystem services, while minimizing the use of synthetic inputs and cropland expansion. Policies to promote ecological intensification have emerged in different countries, but they are still scarce and vary widely across regions. Here, we propose ten policy targets that governments can follow for ecological intensification.
