Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “On average, native species experience reduced abundance and extirpation in urban areas (McIntyre, 2000; Faeth et al., 2005, 2011; Sadler et al., 2006; Sánchez-Bayo and Wyckhuys, 2019).”
Small urban woodlands as biodiversity conservation hot-spot: a multi-taxon approach (2008, background): “…differences of results between studies may be partly explained by the fact that we compared animal communities in a single habitat type located in different landscape instead of comparing communities in a city and its surroundings sectors which involve multiple habitat types (Sadler et al. 2006).”
Analysis of urban impacts on aquatic habitats in the central Amazon basin: Adult odonates as bioindicators of environmental quality (2015, unknown): “, 2008), beetles (Sadler et al., 2006), and ants (Majer and Brown, 1986).”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, unknown): “However, most studies have examined biodiversity in a single urban habitat type (McIntyre 2000; Yamaguchi 2004; Rango 2005; Sadler et al. 2006; Smith et al. 2006; Thompson and McLachlan 2007), and comparisons of different habitat types within urban areas are rare (see McIntyre et al.”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, methodology): “In recent studies carabid abundance and species richness also decreased with increasing urbanization in Edmonton (Canada), Helsinki (Finland) (Niemelä et al. 2002; Venn et al. 2003), Hiroshima (Japan) (Ishitani et al. 2003) and Birmingham (UK) (Sadler et al. 2006).”
Does Urbanization Filter Birds on the Basis of Their Biological Traits (2008, background): “…of studies on bird communities along a rural-urban gradient can depend on whether several habitats (as in our regional analysis) or a single habitat type (as in our local analysis) have been considered (Jokimäki and Kaisanlahti-Jokimäki 2003, Clergeau, Jokimäki, and Snep 2006, Sadler et al. 2006).”
Effects of urbanization on species richness: A review of plants and animals (2008, background): “3=relative maximum richness, 1=relative minimum richness found in study cited Table 8 (continued) Group Urban intensity Location References Low Mid High Bats − 2 1 Michigan Kurta and Teramino 1992 Lizards 2 3 1 Arizona Germaine and Wakeling 2001 Reptile 2 1 − Belize Henderson 1976 Snakes − 2 1 Ohio ”
Effects of forest fragmentation on species richness and composition of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae and Brachinidae) in urban landscapes (2008, background): “These conclusions are consistent with those of Sadler et al. (2006), and our study also indicates that continuous forests do not necessary serve as a “mainland” for urban forest species.”
