Table 1.

Topology descriptors of the pollination networks in five Galápagos islands. P and A, number of plant and animal species, respectively; S, network size (P+A); I, number of realized interactions; C, connectance (I/AP); IE, interaction evenness; Inline graphic, index of network specialization; WNODF, weighted nestedness metric; X ± s.d., mean ± standard deviation. For each plant (p) and animal (a) species, the number of links (L), generality (G), and index of species specialization (d′) are also given. Interaction weight in the quantitative networks is the number of visited flowers by each pollinator species standardized by census time and flower abundance in the community. For each L and d′ column, values sharing the same letter are not significantly different (p < 0.05). All WNODF values are significant (p < 0.001).
