The project aims to investigate how human actions in agricultural landscapes affect the activity of pollinating insects and the consequence for the plants that rely on them for reproduction. The project seeks to reveal how the structure of plant-pollinator networks is related to the reproductive success of plants through the novel application of networks that describe patterns in species interactions. The knowledge gained from this study will enhance our ability to forecast the effects of insect declines for plant seed production in Australia and the world. The intended benefit is an improved capacity to identify vulnerable plant species and maintain pollination services in managed landscape for both wild and cultivated plant populations.

该项目旨在调查人类在农业景观中的行为如何影响传粉昆虫的活动，以及对依赖它们繁殖的植物的影响。该项目旨在通过描述物种相互作用模式的网络的新应用，揭示植物-传粉者网络的结构如何与植物的繁殖成功相关。从这项研究中获得的知识将提高我们预测昆虫减少对澳大利亚和世界植物种子生产的影响的能力。预期的好处是提高识别脆弱植物物种的能力，并在管理景观中为野生和栽培植物种群维持授粉服务。
