Contemporary Niche Theory is a useful framework for understanding howorganisms interact with each other and with their shared environment. Itsgraphical representation, popularized by Tilman's Resource Ratio Hypothesis,facilitates the analysis of the equilibrium structure of complex dynamicalmodels including species coexistence. This theory has been applied primarily toresource competition since its early beginnings. Here, we integrate mutualisminto niche theory by expanding Tilman's graphical representation to theanalysis of consumer-resource dynamics of plant-pollinator networks. Wegraphically explain the qualitative phenomena previously found by numericalsimulations, including the effects on community dynamics of nestedness,adaptive foraging, and pollinator invasions. Our graphical approach promotesthe unification of niche and network theories, and deepens the synthesis ofdifferent types of interactions within a consumer-resource framework.
