摘要: 植物与传粉动物或种子传播动物所形成的互惠关系对生物多样性维系具有重要意义。互惠连接通常由几十甚至几百个物种组成相互依赖的复杂网络,网络分析技术的发展促进了这一复杂生态网络的研究。互惠网络表现出以下特点:(1)互惠网络具有嵌套的结构特征。嵌套结构表现出功能性的冗余。(2)互惠网络在连接数目和连接强度上呈现不对称性,有利于加强生物多样性的续存。(3)互惠网络表现出模块化特征。模块内物种的连接较为紧密,而模块间的连接则较为松散。在影响动植物互惠网络的诸多因素中,最为明显的是生境破碎化和外来物种入侵。生境破碎阻碍动植物间互惠关系的建立,致使植物种群重建的潜力降低。外来物种入侵主要表现在外来入侵的植物与本土植物在与动物建立互惠连接上发生竞争,入侵植物往往更容易与本土的泛化动物建立连接。在群落中动物与植物的互惠连接会随着时间和空间发生变化,改变的原因及动向是未来需要深入探讨的问题。

Abstract: The mutually beneficial interactions between plants and pollinators or seed dispersers have a significant consequence in the maintenance of biodiversity. The mutualistic interactions often involve dozens or even hundreds of species that form interdependently complex networks. Recent improvements in network analysis provide suitable means for the researches on the structure of the complex ecological networks. The mutualistic networks have the following characteristics: (1) with the structural characteristic of nestedness, which introduces functional redundancy, (2) with asymmetry in the numbers and strengths of interactions, which facilitates the maintenance of biodiversity, and (3) with the characteristic of modularity. The species between modules interact with each other more loosely than those within modules. Of the factors affecting plantanimal mutualistic networks, habitat fragmentation and invasive species are the two especially obvious factors. Habitat fragmentation hampers the interaction of mutualism, reducing the potential of plant regeneration, while invasive species are mainly represented as alien plant invasion, competing with native plants for the mutualistic interactions with animals. In contrast with native plants, alien plants are interrelated with native generalists more easily. The plantanimal mutualistic interactions in communities can be changed with time and space. Accordingly, how and why these changes happened should be further approached in the future.
