A functional ecological understanding of urban wild bee communities is of growing
importance especially in regard to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service …

Since the transition from water to land, maintaining water balance has been a key challenge
for terrestrial arthropods. We explore factors that allow terrestrial arthropods to survive within …

Urbanization is quickly changing natural and agricultural landscapes, with consequences for
the herbivorous arthropods dwelling in or near cities. Here, we review the evidence for the …

Predicting how species will respond to climate change and land use modification is
essential for conserving organisms and maintaining ecosystem services. Thermal tolerances …

Highlights•Cities are characterized by altered vegetation, impervious surfaces, and
climate.•Biotic and abiotic factors often interact and have unpredictable complex effects on …

Urban forests provide important ecosystem services to city residents, including pollution
removal and carbon storage. Climate change and urbanization pose multiple threats to …

Urbanization transforms undeveloped landscapes into built environments, causing changes
in communities and ecological processes. Flying arthropods play important roles in these …

Higher temperatures and drought are key aspects of global change with the potential to alter
the distribution and severity of many arthropod pests in forest systems. Scale insects …

Cities are rapidly expanding, and global warming is intensified in urban environments due to
the urban heat island effect. Therefore, urban animals may be particularly susceptible to …

The abundance of arthropods is declining globally, and human-modification of natural
habitat is a primary driver of these declines. Arthropod declines are concerning because …
