Global forecasts of urban expansion to 2030 and direct impacts on biodiversity and carbon pools (2012, background): “However, the vegetation within urban areas is typically more fragmented (25) and can contain an altered species assemblage depending on growing conditions and social preferences (26).”
Ecological and Psychological Value of Urban Green Space (2010, background): “Research is beginning to identify fascinating predictive relationships between socioeconomic variables and patterns of urban biodiversity (Collins et al., 2000; Hope et al., 2003; Martin et al., 2004).”
The Bee Fauna of Residential Gardens in a Suburb of New York City (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) (2008, background): “Both intensityofdevelopmentandsocioeconomic factors can underlie these landscape-level effects (Germaine and Wakeling 2001, Hope et al. 2003, Kinzig et al. 2005).”
Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Water stress likely varies within and between cities, based on the heterogeneous nature of urbanization (Hope et al., 2003; Martin et al., 2004; Schwarz et al., 2015).”
Global Urbanization and the Separation of Humans from Nature (2004, background): “Humanity’s causative role in this process is potentially straightforward, with a body of literature illuminating factors both ecological (Marzluff and Ewing 2001, McKinney 2002) and socioeconomic (Hope et al. 2003).”
The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK (2006, background): “Urban development will have a negative impact on the ecosystems they replace but, in themselves, urban communities and landscapes are extremely heterogeneous, supporting a wide variety flora and fauna (Hope et al. 2003; Martin, Warren & Kinzig et al. 2004).”
Scale-dependent interactions between tree canopy cover and impervious surfaces reduce daytime urban heat during summer (2019, background): “A history of class and racial inequality and oppression has led to considerable inequalities in access to green space and environmental amenities in contemporary cities (41, 42).”
Phylogenetic and functional characteristics of household yard floras and their changes along an urbanization gradient (2012, background): “Hope et al. (2003), for example, explained plant diversity in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, with family income, whereas Dobson et al. (2001) modeled species diversity with human population density and land prices.”
ECOLOGY OF ORGANISMS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS Urban drivers of plant-pollinator interactions (2015, background): “Managed or ornamental species may in some cases be native but are similarly subject to anthropogenic selection filters and intensively managed to produce novel communities, especially in affluent neighbourhoods (Hope et al. 2003).”
