• Using the Concepts of Green Infrastructure and Ecosystem Services to Specify Leitbilder for Compact and Green Cities—The Example of the Landscape Plan of Dresden (Germany) (2017, background): “The sustainable management of cities is generally constrained by their spatial heterogeneity and constitution as socio-ecological systems [57].”
• Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “…pollution (due to emissions from industry, traffic and heating, or nutrient loads to water bodies) cause changes in biogeochemical and nutrient cycles and primary production (e.g. Grimm et al. 2008); however, pollutants’ exact mode of action are still not well understood (Pickett et al. 2011).”
• Ecological connectivity research in urban areas (2015, background): “Despite increased appreciation of the biodiversity and conservation potential of urban areas (Pickett et al. 2011; McDonnell & Hahs 2013) and the importance of ecological connectivity (Crooks & Sanjayan 2006a), the understanding of ecological connectivity in urban landscapes appears limited.”
• Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Many plants in the urban environment are non-native (Pyšek, 1998; McKinney, 2004; Pickett et al., 2011).”
• A global analysis of the impacts of urbanization on bird and plant diversity reveals key anthropogenic drivers (2014, background): “Despite recognition by the Convention on Biological Diversity [9] of the importance of biodiversity in cities and a history of urban ecology research [10–11], global-scale syntheses of urban biodiversity are lacking [12].”
• ECOLOGY OF ORGANISMS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS Urban drivers of plant-pollinator interactions (2015, background): “Urban plant communities are characterized by high proportions of invasive and non-native species, many of which are also actively managed (e.g. in gardens; Pickett et al. 2011).”
• From Multifunctionality to Multiple Ecosystem Services? A Conceptual Framework for Multifunctionality in Green Infrastructure Planning for Urban Areas (2014, background): “In this light, GI planning appears to be especially suited for urban areas because these areas are characterized by the strong, dynamic interplay of ecological and social systems (e.g., Alberti et al. 2003; Pickett et al. 2011).”
• Urbanization and Disease Emergence: Dynamics at the Wildlife–Livestock–Human Interface (2017, background): “These communities are linked by the movement of people, livestock and their products, and wildlife, and the environment (which can conveniently be defined as networks of connectivity) [15,16].”
