Figure 5

Functional groups influence on surviving plants. Mean fraction of surviving plant species after the extinction of pollinators belonging to different functional groups. BF: bee flies, BU: butterflies, OT: others (mostly orthopterans and hemipterans), FL: flies, WA: wasps, LB: large bees, SB: small bees, HF: hoverflies, BE: beetles, AN: ants, HB: honeybee. The strength of each pollinator species is also depicted in a colour scale. The dashed lined represents the average effect of losing a single pollinator species. Data are shown for SB (a) and PM (b) communities. Note that the losses of species with highest strength are those causing the largest plant extinctions.
