Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, background): “Generally, the remaining woodland habitats in cities, called green spaces (Smith et al., 2006a), are physically distant from each other and are isolated by a hostile matrix composed of buildings and streets (Collinge, 1996; Gibb and Hochuli, 2002).”
Local and landscape drivers of arthropod abundance, richness, and trophic composition in urban habitats (2013, methodology): “In contrast, we examined both local and landscape drivers of community patterns, and examined differences in abundance, richness, and trophic structure of arthropod communities in urban forest fragments, vacant lots, and community gardens.”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, neutral): “Ecological studies of urban ants have documented changes in species richness and species composition in urban habitat fragments of different size or age, or along urban to rural gradients (Gibb and Hochuli 2002; Yamaguchi 2004; Lessard and Buddle 2005; Pacheco and Vasconcelos 2007).”
Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Habitat fragmentation in particular has been identified as a driver of shifts in community assembly, whereby communities in habitats that are highly fragmented tend to have more generalist and invasive nonnative species than communities with less habitat fragmentation (Bolger et al., 2000; Gibb and ”
Ecological and Psychological Value of Urban Green Space (2010, neutral): “Bastin and Thomas, 1999; Fernandez-Juricic, 2000; Gibb and Hochuli, 2002 ).”
Urban ecological systems: scientific foundations and a decade of progress. (2011, background): “In some studies, patch size influenced species composition rather than species richness, with organisms at higher trophic levels being those lost at smaller patch sizes (Gibb and Hochuli, 2002).”
The role of ants in conservation monitoring: If, when, and how (2006, background): “Interestingly, Gibb and Hochuli (2002) found smaller (64 km2) woodland fragments contained greater species richness and significantly different ant assemblages than larger fragments (P80 km2) in an urban and landscape matrix around Sydney, Australia.”
Colonisation by a dominant ant facilitated by anthropogenic disturbance: effects on ant assemblage composition, biomass and resource use (2003, background): “Functional groups of ants, derived from such dominance hierarchies, are expected to respond predictably to different environmental conditions (Andersen 1990) and have been used extensively in Australia to examine the effects of environmental disturbances ranging from mining (Andersen 1993, Read 1996”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “Gibb and Hochuli (2002) suggested that differences in the composition of arthropod assemblages in small and large fragments also imply that species richness alone is too simplistic a measure of diversity when evaluating the complex changes occurring after fragmentation.”
Effects of urbanization on butterfly species richness, guild structure, and rarity (2007, background): “Less attention has been paid to the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on terrestrial invertebrates (e.g., Gibb and Hochuli 2002; Tscharntke et al. 2002), and only a small subset of this work has investigated the effects of urbanization (e.g., Pizl and Josens 1995; McIntyre and Hostetler…”
