The spatial heterogeneity of urban landscapes, relatively low agrochemical use, and
species-rich floral communities often support a surprising diversity of wild pollinators in …

Wild bees provide pollination services and are currently declining at the global scale. A
potential cause for this decline is competitive interactions with domestic honey bees. Urban …

As pollinator decline is increasingly reported in natural and agricultural environments, cities
are perceived as shelters for pollinators because of low pesticide exposure and high floral …

European honey bees have been introduced across the globe and may compete with native
bees for floral resources. Compounding effects of urbanization and introduced species on …

The increase in managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) in many European cities has unknown
effects on the densities of wild bees through competition. To investigate this, we monitored …

Cities are socioecological systems that filter and select species, therefore establishing
unique species assemblages and biotic interactions. Urban ecosystems can host richer wild …

Growth in the global development of cities, and increasing public interest in beekeeping, has
led to increase in the numbers of urban apiaries. Towns and cities can provide an excellent …

Urbanization is one of the major anthropogenic processes contributing to local habitat loss
and extirpation of numerous species, including wild bees, the most widespread pollinators …

A growing body of research indicates that cities can support diverse bee communities.
However, urbanization may disproportionately benefit exotic bees, potentially to the …

Recent studies showed that diverse wild bee assemblages are more efficient pollinators
than honeybees. In urban ecosystems pollination services are also important, for example …
