%X Background and Aims Modularity is a ubiquitous and important structural property of ecological networks which describes the relative strengths of sets of interacting species and gives insights into the dynamics of ecological communities. However, this has rarely been studied in species-rich, tropical plant¨Cpollinator networks. Working in a biodiversity hotspot in the Peruvian Andes we assessed the structure of quantitative plant¨Cpollinator networks in nine valleys, quantifying modularity among networks, defining the topological roles of species and the influence of floral traits on specialization
