The urban landscape is becoming the environment most familiar to most of humanity, which
has consequences for society, the environment, and biodiversity. Here, we present a …

Aim Urbanization is one of the most significant anthropogenic alterations of the surface of
the Earth and constitutes a major threat to biodiversity at the global level. Arthropods are a …

Although urban ecosystems are hotspots for biological invasions, the field of invasion
science has given scant attention to invasion dynamics and the challenges facing managers …

Urbanisation is driving rapid declines in species richness and abundance worldwide, but the
general implications for ecosystem function and services remain poorly understood. Here …

Legacy effects describe the persistent, long-term impacts on an ecosystem following the
removal of an abiotic or biotic feature. Redlining, a policy that codified racial segregation …

Invertebrates comprise the most diversified animal group on Earth. Due to their long
