By causing phenological shifts that vary among species, climate change is altering time envelopes for species interactions, often with unexpected demographic consequences. Indirect interactions, like apparent competition and apparent facilitation, are especially likely to change in duration because they involve multiple interactors, increasing the likelihood of asynchronous phenological shifts by at least one interactor. Thus, we might observe ecological surprises if intermediaries of indirectly interacting species change their mediating behaviour. We explored this possibility in a plant–pollinator community that is likely to experience asynchronous phenological shifts. We advanced and delayed the flowering phenology of two ubiquitous exotic plants of western Washington prairies, Hypochaeris radicata and Cytisus scoparius, relative to seven native perennial forb species whose phenologies remained unmanipulated. These species interact indirectly through shared pollinators, whose foraging behaviour influences plant reproductive success. We quantified impacts of experimental phenological shifts on seedset, pollinator visitation rates and visiting pollinator composition relative to an unmanipulated control. We first verified that unmanipulated indirect interactions between native and exotic plants were strong, ranging from facilitative to competitive. Seedset of native plants was strongly affected by changes in exotic flowering phenology, but the magnitude and direction of effects were not predicted by the nature of the original indirect interaction (facilitative vs. neutral vs. competitive) or the change in interaction duration. The relationship between pollinator visitation and seedset changed for most species, though changes in pollinator visitation rate and pollinator composition were not as widespread as effects on native seedset. Synthesis. Changes in pollinator foraging behaviour in response to changes in available floral resources are probably responsible for the unexpected effects we observed. Asynchronous phenological shifts have the potential to produce large and unexpected effects on reproductive success via indirect interactions. The time envelopes for indirect interactions (between two species mediated by a third species) are especially likely to be affected by phenological shifting, because interactors may not shift synchronously. Such shifts could change mediating behavior by the intermediary species, affecting the interaction outcome. We manipulated flowering phenology of exotic plants and found strong effects on seed production by neighboring native plants, probably due to changes in foraging behavior by shared pollinators.
