Inferring the latent network of pairwise mutualistic preferences from observed plant-pollinator interactions
Plant-pollinator communities are typically represented as bipartite networks, whose edges are taken directly from field records of visits. These visits, however, are only a proxy for the object of ecological interest: the latent mutualistic preference between two species. While counts are shaped by preference, they also carry confounding factors such as species abundances, sampling effort, and…
