• Increasing biodiversity in urban green spaces through simple vegetation interventions (2017, background): “We also did not test for the effect of green space type, as this is addressed in detail for 239 bees, bats, birds and bugs in Threlfall et al. (2015; 2016) and Mata et al. (in press), and vegetation 240 attributes, rather than green space type, are the focus of this study.”
• Nature Contact and Human Health: A Research Agenda (2017, background): “…attenuated heat island effects (Bowler et al. 2010) and reduced energy demand (Nowak et al. 2017); provide pollination services (Hall et al. 2017; Threlfall et al. 2015) and wildlife habitat (Alvey 2006; Murgui and Hedblom 2017); reduce urban noise (Margaritis and Kang 2017); and sequester and…”
• The city as a refuge for insect pollinators (2017, background): “In the midst of a pollination crisis, where insect pollinator populations are experiencing significant declines (Jaffe et al. 2010; Pleasants & Oberhauser 2013; Goulson et al. 2015), studies of native bee richness and abundance indicate that diverse communities of wild bees persist in cities in many”

• Landscape impacts on pollinator communities in temperate systems: evidence and knowledge gaps (2017, unknown): “Pollinators may also be nest-site limited in cities (Threlfall et al. 2015; but see Wray & Elle 2015) and ‘bee hotels’ and bumblebee nest boxes are widely promoted solutions despite a lack of evidence from urban studies regarding their effectiveness in supporting cavity nesting bees (MacIvor &…”
