Urban areas as hotspots for bees and pollination but not a panacea for all insects
Urbanisation is an important global driver of biodiversity change, negatively impacting some
species groups whilst providing opportunities for others. Yet its impact on ecosystem …

Where is the UK's pollinator biodiversity? The importance of urban areas for flower-visiting insects
Insect pollinators provide a crucial ecosystem service, but are under threat. Urban areas
could be important for pollinators, though their value relative to other habitats is poorly …

Direct and indirect effects of invasive species: Biodiversity loss is a major mechanism by which an invasive tree affects ecosystem functioning
Global change, such as exotic invasions, dramatically affects ecosystem functioning.
However, the mechanisms behind the impacts are often unclear and despite extensive …

Landscape configurational heterogeneity by small-scale agriculture, not crop diversity, maintains pollinators and plant reproduction in western Europe
Agricultural intensification is one of the main causes for the current biodiversity crisis. While
reversing habitat loss on agricultural land is challenging, increasing the farmland …

[HTML][HTML] Anthropogenic air pollutants reduce insect-mediated pollination services
Common air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NO x), emitted in diesel exhaust, and
ozone (O 3), have been implicated in the decline of pollinating insects. Reductionist …
