Insect-provided pollination services are increasingly threatened due to alarming declines in
insect pollinator populations. One of the main threats to insect pollinators and consequently …

Functional diversity is related to the maintenance of processes and functions in ecosystems.
However, there is a lack of a conceptual framework that highlights the application of …

Urban gardens can support diverse bee communities through resource provision in
resource poor environments. Yet the effects of local habitat and landscape factors on wild …

Cities are considered important refuges for insect pollinators. This has been shown
repeatedly for wild bees, but may also be true for other diverse taxa such as hoverflies …

In the context of worldwide biodiversity and wild bee decline, it is increasingly important to
better understand the effect of land-use changes on wild bee communities at a global scale …

Urbanisation has become one of the major anthropogenic drivers behind insect decline in
abundance, biomass and species richness over the past decades. As a result, bees and …

Land-use change, including urbanization, is known to affect wild bee (Hymenoptera:
Apoidea) diversity. However, while previous studies have focused on differences across …

Urbanization and land use change are leading causes of declines in pollinator abundance
and diversity. However, researchers in different regions of the world have found that some …
