Changing Bee and Hoverfly Pollinator Assemblages along an Urban-Rural Gradient

TL;DR: It is shown that urban areas can support diverse pollinator assemblages, but that this capacity is strongly affected by local habitat quality, and the unique development histories of different urban areas mean that complementary studies in different cities and urban habitats are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts

Lawrence N. Hudson, +273 more
TL;DR: A new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world is described and assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project

Lawrence N. Hudson, +573 more
TL;DR: The PREDICTS project as discussed by the authors provides a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vegetation development over four years on two green roofs in the UK

TL;DR: In this article, the development of plant assemblages on two green roofs designed to emulate diverse brownfield habitats (brown roofs), by using recycled demolition aggregate as part of a low-fertility growth substrate, were studied over the first four years of their development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting bee community responses to land-use changes : Effects of geographic and taxonomic biases

Adriana De Palma, +81 more
- 11 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of a global dataset of bee diversity at sites facing land-use change and intensification suggests that global extrapolation of models based on geographically and taxonomic restricted data may underestimate the true uncertainty, increasing the risk of ecological surprises.
