Ecological perturbations caused by biotic invasion have been identified as a growing threat
to global sustainability. Invasive alien plants species (IAPS) are considered to be one of the …

The urban landscape is becoming the environment most familiar to most of humanity, which
has consequences for society, the environment, and biodiversity. Here, we present a …

Aim Urbanization is one of the most significant anthropogenic alterations of the surface of
the Earth and constitutes a major threat to biodiversity at the global level. Arthropods are a …

Although urban ecosystems are hotspots for biological invasions, the field of invasion
science has given scant attention to invasion dynamics and the challenges facing managers …

Urbanisation is driving rapid declines in species richness and abundance worldwide, but the
general implications for ecosystem function and services remain poorly understood. Here …

Urban areas can drive rapid evolution of species and are hotspots for entry and
establishment of invasive species, but it is unclear how urban evolution is impacting the …

Urbanization has a homogenizing effect on biodiversity and leads to communities with fewer
native species and lower conservation value. However, few studies have explored whether …

Invertebrates comprise the most diversified animal group on Earth. Due to their long
evolutionary history and small size, invertebrates occupy a remarkable range of ecological …

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 …

Aim Cities worldwide are characterized by unique human stressors that filter species based
on their traits, potentially leading to biodiversity loss. The knowledge of which species are …
