Extinction of experience: the loss of human–nature interactions (2016, background): “…the past half- century, an ever- growing number of humans have rapidly concentrated themselves and their activities into urban areas, where a high proportion of space is composed of artifi cial material and is segregated from natural systems and processes (Turner et al. 2004 ; Grimm et al. 2008 ).”
Multiple effects of urbanization on the biodiversity of developing countries: the case of a fast-growing metropolitan area (Concepción, Chile). (2006, background): “It may be that the already impoverished environment where most urban inhabitants grow have offer very little stimulus for them to protect natural elements (Turner et al., 2004).”
Translocations: Providing Outcomes for Wildlife, Resource Managers, Scientists, and the Human Community (2008, background): “Turner et al. (2004) stated that the number and variety of people aware of and involved in the integration of biodiversity must grow.”
Challenges of Biodiversity Education: A Review of Education Strategies for Biodiversity Education. (2012, background): “In addition, native biodiversity can contribute to a sense of place and belonging (Turner et al., 2004).”
A systematic map of research exploring the effect of greenspace on mental health (2020, background): “…other natural features can rapidly result in a positive effect within a person experiencing acute stress, which in turn can block negative thoughts and feelings (Ulrich, 1983; Ulrich, Simons, Losito, Fiorito, & Miles, 1991) Achieving such a broad synthesis requires a systematic mapping methodology.”
Empathy for Animals: A Review of the Existing Literature (2018, background): “With this urbanization comes a growing disconnect between people and the natural world (Turner et al. 2004).”
How many birds are there in a city of half a million people? (2009, background): “Third, many of the interactions between people and nature occur in urban environments (Miller & Hobbs, 2002; Turner et al ., 2004; Miller, 2005), and the psychological benefits derived by visits to urban green spaces increase with their biodiversity (Fuller et al ., 2007).”
Forecasting faunal and floral homogenization associated with human population geography in North America (2006, background): “Indeed, residents of urban areas tend to place a much higher value on species conservation than those living in rural areas, likely because these areas are the most biological impoverished (Turner et al., 2004).”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, unknown): “Although the need for biodiversity conservation in urban ecosystems is increasingly recognized, studies on urban biodiversity, especially in multiple habitat types, are a minor focus of conservation biology (McIntyre 2000; McKinney 2002; Miller and Hobbs 2002; Turner et al. 2004).”
Urban ecological systems: scientific foundations and a decade of progress. (2011, background): “studies have demonstrated the benefits of focusing research on developed lands (Turner et al., 2004).”
