Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) (2015, background): “However, gardens and small weedy patches are also considered to have biodiversity value in urban habitat studies (Matteson et al. 2008; Sarah and Jeremy 2012; Larson et al. 2014; Maclvor et al. 2014), providing refuge, food and apposite habitats to various species (Gilbert 1989).”
The relative performance of sampling methods for native bees: an empirical test and review of the literature (2020, background): “Three other studies have used mobile gardens in urban areas with far greater success (Williams and Winfree 2013, Lowenstein et al. 2014, 2015).”
Building height matters: nesting activity of bees and wasps on vegetated roofs (2016, background): “At ground level, urban green spaces having more diverse plantings can lead to a greater diversity in bees (Gaston et al. 2005; Cane et al. 2006; Matteson & Langellotto 2010; Lowenstein et al. 2014).”
ECOLOGY OF ORGANISMS IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS Urban drivers of plant-pollinator interactions (2015, background): “For example, higher bee abundance was associated with urban areas of higher human population density, likely mediated through higher abundance of flowers (Lowenstein et al. 2014).”
Evaluating the dependence of urban pollinators on ornamental, non-native, and ‘weedy’ floral resources (2018, methodology): “In the first year of sampling, pollinators were collected and identified to species (Lowenstein et al. 2014).”
Patterns of pollinator turnover and increasing diversity associated with urban habitats (2017, background): “As in both Wojcik and McBride (2012) and Lowenstein et al. (2014), our results indicate that local floral resources also had a profound effect on which bee species were found across the urbanization gradient in either habitat, and thus the structure of pollinator networks.”
Understanding biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships in urban areas: A comprehensive literature review (2017, unknown): “Mixed evidence is provided by Lowenstein et al. (2014) in their study on pollination services in Chicago, USA.”
