7 Clustering Analysis in Latent Spaces UI U Figure : Pollinator species clustered into seven classes in the latent factor space learned by IFMF with k = factors. According to a pollination expert, clusters and are groups of common species while clusters,, and are groups of rare species. Clusters and represent specialists while clusters,, and show generalists. The species in clusters,, and tend to appear early in the year while species in clusters and appear later in the year.

8 Degree Interaction count Occurrence count Cluster Cluster..8. Cluster Cluster.9.8. Cluster Cluster... Cluster..8.9 Table : Statistics of the average degree of pollinator species, average number of interactions (raw count of all interactions), and average number of occurrences (count of meadow-watches where the species appeared) over all pollinator species in each cluster. Degree indicates the average number of plant species with which pollinator species in the group interacted. Degree Interaction count Occurrence count U U Table : Spearman correlation between the latent factors of pollinator species and data summaries. 8

9 V V Figure : Plants species clustered into four clusters in the latent factor space learned by IFMF with k = factors. According to a pollination expert, clusters and are groups of common generalists and cluster has more generalized species than class. Cluster is a group of specialists. Cluster is a mix of species types. 9
