When we think about network analysis in the biological and environmental context, one of the most fascinating aspect to analyse is the network of interactions between plants and pollinator insects.
Nowadays it is widely recognised that pollinators insect species play a key role in every ecosystem, as they facilitate the reproduction of flowering plants by transferring pollen between the flowers. In this way, they both ensure plant genetic diversity and contribute to the formation of fruits.

We think that applying network analysis in this context can allow to make observations and extract useful information about the ecosystem, with the final goal to understand this complex and important structure of natural interactions. We believe that network analysis could be useful not only to know the structure and organisation of the network, but also for identifying the key species and analyse network dynamics through the use of simulations.
