• A comparison of 3 types of green roof as habitats for arthropods (2013, background): “A community richness and composition equivalent to those of other urban green spaces were observed (Colla, 2009; MacIvor and Lundholm, 2011a; Ksiazek et al., 2012).”
• Green corridors in urban landscapes affect the arthropod communities of domestic gardens (2012, background): “Staphylinids are widespread taxa of arthropods that exhibit a great number of species and that seem to be sensitive to fragmentation (Deichsel, 2006; Michaels, 2007) and are particularly interesting for analysing the effects of urbanisation (Bohac, 1999; Deichsel, 2006; MacIvor and Lundholm, 2011).”
• Building height matters: nesting activity of bees and wasps on vegetated roofs (2016, background): “…Jones 2002; Millet 2004; Kadas 2006; Pearce & Walters 2012; Madre et al. 2013, MacIvor, Ruttan, & Salehi 2015; reviewed in MacIvor & Ksiazek 2015); however, adjacent or nearby ground level reference habitat yields higher diversity (Colla et al. 2009; MacIvor & Lundholm 2011; Tonietto et al. 2011).”
