The magnet species effect of two-leaf squill (Scilla spp.) on pollinator competition with the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis L.)
Overall, it appears that early flowering plant communities face strong competition for pollinators, which are scarce due to low spring temperatures. Magnet species may more significantly influence pollinator activity "in their favor" and potentially threaten the reproductive success of other, co-occurring species.
