This was the preliminary work of our study focusing on the consequences of nectar robbing for community stability (doi.org/10.1371/jour...), but order of publication got reversed on the way
When cheating turns into a stabilizing mechanism of plant–pollinator communities
Mutualistic interactions, such as plant-mycorrhizal or plant-pollinator interactions, are widespread in ecological communities and frequently exploited by cheaters. This combination of theoretical mod...
