70%~ 90%的被子植物花粉完全或主要由动物介导。因此，传粉者为人类提供了重要的生态系统服务。然而，人类引起的生物多样性丧失对植物-传粉者相互作用功能的影响尚未得到实验检验。为了了解植物群落对传粉动物多样性变化的反应，我们在自然条件下操纵了植物和传粉者的功能多样性。增加植物和传粉者的功能多样性导致了更多样化的植物群落的招募。两年后，功能最多样化的传粉者组合授粉的植物群落中含有约50%以上的植物物种比不太多样化的传粉者组合授粉的植物群落。此外，功能多样性的积极影响被解释为传粉者和植物的功能群之间的互补性。因此，授粉网络的功能多样性可能对生态系统的可持续性至关重要。操纵植物和传粉者群落提供的实验证据表明，植物群落的持久性可能会受到其传粉动物多样性丧失的影响。
Pollination is exclusively or mainly animal mediated for 70% to 90% of angiosperm species. Thus, pollinators provide an essential ecosystem service to humankind. However, the impact of human-induced biodiversity loss on the functioning of plant–pollinator interactions has not been tested experimentally. To understand how plant communities respond to diversity changes in their pollinating fauna, we manipulated the functional diversity of both plants and pollinators under natural conditions. Increasing the functional diversity of both plants and pollinators led to the recruitment of more diverse plant communities. After two years the plant communities pollinated by the most functionally diverse pollinator assemblage contained about 50% more plant species than did plant communities pollinated by less-diverse pollinator assemblages. Moreover, the positive effect of functional diversity was explained by a complementarity between functional groups of pollinators and plants. Thus, the functional diversity of pollination networks may be critical to ecosystem sustainability. Manipulating plant and pollinator communities provides experimental evidence that the persistence of a plant community can be affected by a loss of diversity among its pollinating fauna.
