The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Environmental and socio‐economic factors behind data provision in 17 citizen science projects
Abstract Citizen science approaches in ecology have recently become increasingly popular. Although many advantages, such as the cost‐effective collection of vast amounts of data, outweigh the disadvantages, most projects face difficulties, such as non‐random sampling, pseudo‐absences or various biases, such as detection/reporting biases or participant ...
