New Lit Alert: There must bee a better way: A review of published urban bee literature and suggested topics for future study

There must bee a better way: A review of published urban bee literature and suggested topics for future study Rachel A. Brant, Michael Arduser, Aimee S. Dunlap Abstract Numerous animal species can survive in human-modified habitats, but often display behavioral, morphological, physiological or genetic plasticity compared to non-urban conspecifics. One group of organisms with a... Continue Reading →

New Lit Alert: The effects of urbanisation on ecological interactions

The effects of urbanisation on ecological interactions Panagiotis Theodorou Abstract Cities are expanding worldwide and urbanisation is considered a global threat to biodiversity. Urban ecology has provided important insights on how urban environmental changes might affect individuals, populations and species; however, we know little about how the ecological impacts of urbanisation alter species interactions. Species... Continue Reading →

Big in the City: Urban Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Bumblebee Body Size and Pollination

Urbanization is arguably one of the most rapid and conspicuous human-driven environmental changes, and fragmentation is one of the most pervasive outcomes of urbanization. Patches of vegetation within the built matrix of a typical cityscape, such as parks and gardens, are usually small and isolated and movement among them potentially jeopardized. Bumblebees are common in... Continue Reading →

CSEE2020: Variation in Pollinator-mediated Plant Reproduction Across an Urbanization Gradient

Recently, Ruth Rivkin shared some of her dissertation work with the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution (CSEE). Urban habitats are more fragmented and degraded than nonurban habitats, which can impact both the ecology and evolution of species interactions. Species interaction may be particularly sensitive to urbanization because the species involved may be responding to... Continue Reading →
