- •
Two invasive acacias successfully established mutualistic interactions with local pollinator species.
- •
Acacia visitors were predominantly generalist pollinators.
- •
The number of pollinator visits to acacia was high, but pollination rates were low due to high acacia flower abundance.
- •
Competition for pollinators was low, since only two native plant species were starting their flowering period.
- •
Native plant species with synchronous phenology presented similar or higher pollination rates than acacias.
