论文摘要
当代利基理论是理解生物如何相互互动及其共同环境的有用框架。其图形表示，由蒂尔曼（Tilman）的资源比率假设普及，促进了对包括物种共存在内的复杂动力学模型的平衡结构的分析。自早期起初，该理论主要用于资源竞争。在这里，我们通过将蒂尔曼的图形表示形式扩展到分析植物 - 托管网络的消费者资源动力学来将互惠理论整合到利基理论中。我们以图形方式解释了数值模拟先前发现的定性现象，包括对嵌套，适应性觅食和传粉媒介入侵的社区动态的影响。我们的图形方法促进了利基和网络理论的统一，并加深了消费者资源框架内不同类型的相互作用的综合。
Contemporary Niche Theory is a useful framework for understanding how organisms interact with each other and with their shared environment. Its graphical representation, popularized by Tilman's Resource Ratio Hypothesis, facilitates the analysis of the equilibrium structure of complex dynamical models including species coexistence. This theory has been applied primarily to resource competition since its early beginnings. Here, we integrate mutualism into niche theory by expanding Tilman's graphical representation to the analysis of consumer-resource dynamics of plant-pollinator networks. We graphically explain the qualitative phenomena previously found by numerical simulations, including the effects on community dynamics of nestedness, adaptive foraging, and pollinator invasions. Our graphical approach promotes the unification of niche and network theories, and deepens the synthesis of different types of interactions within a consumer-resource framework.
