Mass-flowering crops lead to spatial redistributions of pollinators and to
transient shortages within nearby semi-natural grasslands, but the impacts
on plant-pollinator interactions remain largely unexplored. Here, we
characterised which pollinator species are attracted by oilseed rape and
how this affected the structure of plant-pollinator networks in nearby
grasslands. We surveyed 177 networks from three countries (Germany, Sweden
and United Kingdom) in 24 landscapes with high crop cover, and compared
them to 24 landscapes with low or no oilseed rape during and after crop
blooming. On average 55% of grassland pollinator species were found on the
crop, which attracted 8-35% of individuals away from grasslands. However,
networks in the grasslands were resistant to these reductions, since
mainly abundant and highly mobile species were attracted. Nonetheless,
simulations indicated that network structural changes could be triggered
if >50% of individuals were attracted to the crop (a value
well-above that found in our study system), which could affect community
stability and resilience to further disturbance.
