Collared Inca (Ecuador - 2022)
Analysing 32 plant–hummingbird communities, we found evidence for forbidden links in all of them, with a proportion varying from 3% to 29% of the possible interactions. Where they were in high proportion (> 15%), forbidden links decreased substantially the robustness to extinctions because of constraints on interaction rewiring. Our results suggest that forbidden links are not rare in plant–hummingbird communities and have the potential to limit the rescue of species experiencing partner extinction.

We proposed alternative analyses and concluded that weather conditions explain inter-annual variability, but not the long term decline, in insect biomass.
