Local and landscape drivers of predation services in urban gardens.
In agroecosystems, local and landscape features, as well as natural enemy abundance and richness, are significant predictors of predation services that may result in biological control of pests. Despite the increasing importance of urban gardening for provisioning of food to urban populations, most urban gardeners suffer from high pest problems, and have little knowledge about how to manage the...

These encompass environmental advantages (reducing ̳food miles‘ and the impact of ̳urban heat islands‘), social benefits (increasing food security and agricultural education of city-dwellers), and human health perks (eating fresher...
متن کاملThe effect of energy and seasonality on avian species richness and community composition.
We analyzed geographic patterns of richness in both the breeding and winter season in relation to a remotely sensed index of seasonal production (normalized difference vegetation index [NDVI]) and to measures of habitat heterogeneity at four different spatial resolutions. The relationship between avian richness and NDVI was consistent between seasons, suggesting that the way in which available ...
متن کاملThe Global Distribution and Drivers of Alien Bird Species Richness
Alien species are a major component of human-induced environmental change. Variation in the numbers of alien species found in different areas is likely to depend on a combination of anthropogenic and environmental factors, with anthropogenic factors affecting the number of species introduced to new locations, and when, and environmental factors influencing how many species are able to persist t...
