Disruption of plant-pollinator interactions by invasive predators is poorly understood but may pose a critical threat for native ecosystems. In a multi-year field experiment in Hawaiʻi, we suppressed abundances of globally invasive predators and then observed insect visitation to flowers of six nati...
