1 Introduction Anthropogenic pressures are causing shifts in the composition of ecological assemblages (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005; Newbold et al. 2015; Walther et al. 2002). This can lead to declines in ecosystem functioning and impact the benefits that nature provides to people (Cardinale et al. 2012; Mace, Norris, and Fitter 2012). These benefits are often referred to as ecosystem services and they underpin human well-being (WWF 2018; Biggs et al. 2012).

AbstractPollen transport is an understudied process with consequences for plant reproductive success and floral evolution. Recently, pollinator bodies have been described as pollen competition arenas, with implications for plant community assembly. However, the identity, strength, and diversity of pollen competitive interactions and how they vary across pollinator groups is unknown.
