Workshop Description:  Approaches to integrating theory and data in studies of species interactions become increasingly quantitative and sophisticated over time. With a focus on the structure and dynamics of plant-pollinator interactions, the goals for this workshop are to introduce participants to (1) the theory and underlying metrics of species interaction network structure, (2) the statistical methods for estimating interaction rates from data, and (3) the mathematical tools that enable inferences regarding community dynamics.
