Hotspots of damage by antagonists shape the spatial structure of plant-pollinator interactions

The balance between mutualistic and antagonistic plant–animal interactions and their spatial variation results in a highly dynamic mosaic of reproductive success within plant populations. Yet, the ecological drivers of this small‐scale heterogeneity of interaction patterns and their outcomes remain...
