Building height matters: nesting activity of bees and wasps on vegetated roofs (2016, background): “It is important to consider habitat conditions in the design of green infrastructure to facilitate as well as study both positive and negative novel responses of biodiversity to urban and environmental changes (McIntyre 2000; Felson & Pickett 2005; Goddard et al. 2010).”
Diversity of Central European urban biota: effects of human‐made habitat types on plants and land snails (2011, background): “Such habitat heterogeneity contributes to high species richness (Goddard et al., 2010).”
Are all urban green spaces a favourable habitat for pollinator communities? Bees, butterflies and hoverflies in different urban green areas (2019, background): “Furthermore, it has to be taken into consideration that cities are a part of the larger landscape, and that urban areas are becoming increasingly important ecosystems, promoting the biodiversity of their surroundings (Goddard et al., 2010; Kowarik, 2011; Normandin et al., 2017; Werner & Kelcey, 2017”
Insect species composition and diversity on intensive green roofs and adjacent level-ground habitats (2011, background): “Habitat fragmentation can compromise conservation of insect biodiversity in urban areas (Ehrlich and Murphy 1987; Di Giulio et al. 2001; Goddard et al. 2010), and it is thought that green roofs might serve in connecting fragmented green spaces in cities to facilitate species dispersal within the…”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “Strategies to maintain the connectivity of habitats in urban land-scapes remain a relatively new topic of research for urban ecologists, which has thus far received more attention in terrestrial systems (Goddard et al., 2010; LaPoint et al., 2015), than in marine systems.”
Wall ecology: A frontier for urban biodiversity and ecological engineering (2011, background): “Goddard et al. (2009) recently argued that the benefits of gardens for urban biodiversity do not reach their potential due to a lack of landscape-scale consideration of the ecosystems and their connectivity, and a similar argument may be applied to living roofs.”
Closing the Gap: Communicating to Change Gardening Practices in Support of Native Biodiversity in Urban Private Gardens (2012, background): “As a major component of green space, they have tremendous potential for supporting biodiversity, providing biodiversity benefits (Goddard et al. 2010), and improving connectivity of populations of native species that are currently largely limited to remnants (Doody et al. 2010).”
Gardens benefit bees and enhance pollination in intensively managed farmland (2011, background): “Lately attention has been drawn to the positive impact of urban gardens and allotment gardens on pollinators (Ahrné et al., 2009; Goddard et al., 2010) and on the process of pollination (Cussans et al., 2010).”
Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, background): “Although domestic gardens are small in area, they are numerous, and they represent a significant proportion of green space area in cities (Goddard et al., 2010; Loram et al., 2007).”
Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “Keywords Biodiversity _ Solitary bees _ Pollinator decline _ Species richness _ Urbanisation _ Northampton”
The value of green walls to urban biodiversity (2017, background): “planning of green walls needs to be undertaken to ensure habitat heterogeneity is maximised at a landscape scale (Goddard et al., 2010).”
The city as a refuge for insect pollinators (2017, background): “…improving the wild pollinator populations in urban areas may also improve species richness and abundance in nearby agricultural lands via a spillover effect (Goulson et al. 2010), although the relative importance of cites as sources or sinks for pollinators is largely unknown (Gill et al. 2016).”
Pollinator conservation - The difference between managing for pollination services and preserving pollinator diversity (2015, positive): “A more holistic approach to management, which recognises and measures biodiversity, economic and social impacts, will be required if policy is to provide true win–win situations Acknowledgments DS was funded by NERC Knowledge Exchange Impact Accelerator Award and the Insect Pollinators Initiative (g”
