We investigated the effects of fragmentation due to urbanisation on the species composition
and functional roles of ants, beetles, spiders, flies and wasps. The study was conducted in …

We analysed a 50‐year dataset of avian species observations to determine how richness
and community composition varied over a period of landscape‐scale environmental change …

Garden floras interact with native biodiversity by providing resources for wildlife and by
acting as a source of non-native species. Understanding the composition and richness of …

Few urban studies of avian diversity discriminate between native and exotic species,
although highly modified urban environments typically support significant numbers of non …

Regression models were used to quantify the relationship between the amount of urban
land and composition of local species pools. There was no evidence that urban land cover …
