Abstract

   In the light of rapid losses of biodiversity worldwide, it has become more
   important than ever to study the factors that ensure the continued existence of
   diverse ecological communities. Whereas the diversity-enhancing effects of
   antagonistic interactions are relatively well understood, much less is known
   about the contribution of mutualistic interactions to biodiversity maintenance.
   This study assesses the influence of mutualistic interactions with pollinators on
   the diversity of plant communities with alternative means of reproduction besides
   animal pollination. In contrast to a recent more general model of plant-animal
   mutualisms, the results of our simulations suggest that interactions with
   pollinators do not generally promote plant diversity, irrespective of the
   structure of the interaction network. Despite a potential for increased plant
   species richness through the positive effect of pollinators on plant birth rates,
   species richness was mostly negatively affected by the presence of pollinators
   because existing abundance asymmetries were amplified by animal pollination. Our
   results imply that for plant communities with alternative means of reproduction,
   the loss of pollinators will usually not lead to decreased diversity. However,
   whereas the immediate effects of pollinator loss on plant community composition
   may be negligible, the long-term population genetic consequences are likely to be
   severe.
