Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, background): “The Pieridae species mainly consist of mobile species, capable of living in various human-affected ruderal habitats and green urban areas (Hardy & Dennis, 1999; Wood & Pullin, 2002).”
Impacts of urbanisation on biodiversity: the role of species mobility, degree of specialisation and spatial scale (2015, background): “…such as climate (i.e., annual 187 precipitation and mean temperature) and topography (i.e., northness and surface roughness) 188 variables (e.g., Wood and Pullin 2002, Nobis et al. 2009, Lososová et al. 2012), and variables 189 related to other land-uses (i.e., agricultural land) and landscape…”
The influences of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and movement: a review (2009, background): “Wood and Pullin (2002) examined the distribution of four species of butterfly in fragmented grasslands in the urban dominated landscape of England’s West Midlands.”
Insect Conservation in an Urban Biodiversity Hotspot: The San Francisco Bay Area (2002, background): “In studies examining the impact of urbanization, Hardy and Dennis (1999) and Wood and Pullin (2002) found that butterfly abundance depended more on host-plant availability than on urbanization.”
