Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks with Fernando Gonçalves

In this podcast, Functional Ecology author Fernando Gonçalves talks to Assistant Editor Amelia Macho about his article "Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks". Fernando's article discusses how pollen protein and amino acid composition influence year-round and seasonal bat–flower interaction networks. Its results underscore the essential role of pollen, not just nectar, as a key reward for attracting flower-visiting bats, and therefore highlights pollen content as an important driver structuring pollination networks.
