The 'silent takeover': Invasive bees are reshaping Chile's unique pollination networks

Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss and invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. A new study published in the journal NeoBiota reveals that invasive pollinators are fundamentally reshaping native plant-pollinator networks in Chile, leading to a "silent takeover" that threatens the stability of one of the world's most unique biodiversity hotspots.
