How should beta-diversity inform biodiversity conservation?
To design robust protected area networks, accurately measure species losses, or
understand the processes that maintain species diversity, conservation science must …

Supporting bees in cities: how bees are influenced by local and landscape features
Simple Summary Cities are complex ecosystems that, while generally contributing to an
overall reduction in biodiversity, can support surprisingly unique communities of organisms …

Urbanization drives cross‐taxon declines in abundance and diversity at multiple spatial scales
The increasing urbanization process is hypothesized to drastically alter (semi‐) natural
environments with a concomitant major decline in species abundance and diversity. Yet …

Urbanisation drivers and underlying mechanisms of terrestrial insect diversity loss in cities
1. Urbanisation is one of the main land‐use changes behind global insect collapse. Despite
that previous studies have described the negative effects of urbanisation on insect …

Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptual models across …
Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Towards an integrative approach to evaluate the environmental ecosystem services provided by urban forest
Abstract As a Nature-Based Solution, urban forests deliver a number of environmental
ecosystem services (EESs). To quantify these EESs, well-defined, reliable, quantifiable and …
