The origin of urban communities: From the regional species pool to community assemblages in city (2020, background): “For instance habitat loss and fragmentation select for mobile species (Cheptou, Hargreaves, Bonte, & Jacquemyn, 2017; Concepción et al., 2015), while urban warming selects for hotand drought-tolerant species and hampers the successful recovery of hygrophilous species (Menke et al., 2011).”
Understanding biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships in urban areas: A comprehensive literature review (2017, unknown): “…composition of species assemblages may have shifted due to modified abiotic and biotic conditions (e.g. Kowarik 2011; Williams et al. 2009), leading to the dominance of seed-producing, short-lived and non-native plants species (Concepcion et al. 2015; Knapp et al. 2008; Williams et al. 2015).”
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “BOX 5 Buzz in the City Cities are scheduled to increase by more than 250% in the next 15 years, with urbanization being one of the main drivers of habitat fragmentation and associated biodiversity losses (Concepcion et al., 2015; Geslin et al., 2016a; Nieto et al., 2014).”
