    Dynamics of a plant–pollinator network: extending the Bianconi–Barabási model
    (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-06) Castillo, William J.; Burkle, Laura A.; Dormann, Carsten F.
    We study the dynamical assembly of weighted bipartite networks to understand the hidden mechanisms of pollination, expanding the Bianconi–Barabási model where nodes have intrinsic properties. Allowing for a non-linear interaction rate, which represents the seasonality of flowers and pollinators, our analysis reveals similarity of this extended Bianconi–Barabási model with field observations. While our current approach may not fully account for the diverse range of interaction accretion slopes observed in the real world, we regard it as an important step towards enriching theoretical models with biological realism.
