Introduction : antagonistic and mutualistic interactions

How are antagonistic and mutualistic interactions coupled in plants-insects systems What are the indirect effects between herbivore and pollinator ?

How does the community respond to perturbation by insecticides ?

The ecological model

3 species model

Perturbation express across two gradients - Additional mortality due to insecticides use: intensity of perturbation - Sensitivity of pollinator to perturbation

Questions and hypotheses

Questions : How does the extinction order depend on the sensitivity of pollinator ? How do densities vary with perturbation by insecticides ? How does the perturbation regime affect the stability of the system (i.e. resilience sensu McCann, 2000) ? Hypotheses : Pollinator helps the community in the face of perturbation... ...depending on the sensitivity !

Results

Mathematical analysis : One coexistence equilibrium point

Extinction limits of pollinators and herbivores can be computed : Extinction order First derivatives of equilibrium equations regarding to changes in perturbation parameters computed too : Variations of densities
