Inrecentyears,thestudyofpollinationinteractionsatthecommunitylevelhas?ourishedandavarietyoftoolshavebeendevelopedthathasgreatlyfurtheredourunderstandingofcomplexnetworkstructureanddynamics(Bascompte&Jordano2007).Onecharacteristicpropertyofpollinationnetworksisthenestedstructureoftheirinteractions,whichmeansthatmostpollinationnetworksconsistof(i)acoreofgeneralistspeciesthatinteractcloselywitheachotherand(ii)afewspecializedspeciesthattendtointeractwiththemostgeneralizedspecies(Bascompteetal.2003).Sinceasymmetryofinteractions,whichwaspreviouslynotedbyPetanidou&Ellis(1996),createsahighdegreeofredundancyinpollinationnetworks,ithasbeensuggestedthatthisfeaturecontributessubstantiallytothepersistenceofspecializedspeciesandtherobustnessofnetworks(Memmott,Waser&Price2004;Kaiser-Bunburyetal.2010).Whilethelevelofsophisticationofnetworktoolsandtheirusagehasadvancedrapidly,frompurelyqualitativenetworkparametersbasedonpres-zquez2005;Jordano,Bascompte&ence?absencelinks(e.g.Va

zquez,Chac-mechanismslagsbehind(Bluthgenetal.2008;Va

Islandsareparticularlywellsuitedforstudyingtheeffectsofinvasivespeciesonplant–pollinatorinteractions.Mostislandshaveexperiencedmanyintroductionssincehumancoloniza-tion(Kuefferetal.2010)and,togetherwithhabitatdestruc-tionandexploitation,invasivealienspecieshavedevastatednativeisland?orasandfaunasworld-wide(Whittaker&Fern-ndez-Palacios2006).Duetotheirsmallsizeandisolation,a
