Combining genetic and geospatial analyses to infer population extinction in mygalomorph spiders endemic to the Los Angeles region (2006, background): “Other studies have shown that such urban microreserves can harbor important elements of a remnant arthropod fauna, and act as reservoirs of diversity, even in a highly modified landscape (e.g. Connor et al., 2002; Watts & Larivière, 2004).”
The influence of urban park characteristics on ant (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) communities (2008, unknown): “Unfortunately, information for land managers in urban areas is lacking for most taxa (Connor et al. 2003).”
Small scale additions of native plants fail to increase beneficial insect richness in urban gardens (2011, background): “In addition (and as mentioned earlier), some endemic herbivores have been documented feeding on alien plants in urban settings (Shapiro, 2002; Connor et al., 2003) and there may be considerable heterogeneity in the response of herbivores and predators to urban land use (McIntyre et al.”
