Winter Bird Assemblages in Rural and Urban Environments: A National Survey [PDF]

, 2015
Urban development has a marked effect on the ecological and behavioural traits of many living organisms, including birds. In this paper, we analysed differences in the numbers of wintering birds between rural and urban areas in Poland. We also analysed

Endangered Plants in Novel Urban Ecosystems Are Filtered by Strategy Type and Dispersal Syndrome, Not by Spatial Dependence on Natural Remnants [PDF]

, 2020
Understanding the contribution of cities to nature conservation is gaining increasing importance with a globally accelerating urbanization and requires insights into the mechanisms that underlie urban distribution patterns. While a considerable number of

Insect ecology and conservation in urban areas: An overview of knowledge and needs

Insect Conservation and Diversity
Urban expansion across the globe profoundly impacts local biodiversity. The growing body of urban ecology research on animals has largely focused on mammals and birds, whereas knowledge of insect ecology and conservation in urban areas remains limited ...

Phase Fraction Modulation Enhances Li+/Na+ Diffusion Disparity in Spent LiFePO4 Cathodes for Efficient Lithium Extraction from Brine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A direct cascaded utilization strategy for spent LiFePO4 batteries efficiently extracts lithium from brine, embodying the “urban mining” concept. Phase fraction modulation revealed its significant impact on local bond lengths of crystal structure and the Li/Na diffusion energy barrier, identifying the best material (Li0.19FePO4) for lithium extraction.

Protecting an Ecosystem Service: Approaches to Understanding and Mitigating Threats to Wild Insect Pollinators [PDF]

, 2016
Insect pollination constitutes an ecosystem service of global importance, providing significant economic and aesthetic benefits as well as cultural value to human society, alongside vital ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems.

Comparing convenience and probability sampling for urban ecology applications

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018
Urban forest ecosystems confer multiple ecosystem services. There is therefore a need to quantify ecological characteristics in terms of community structure and composition so that benefits can be better understood in ecosystem service models.

Hydrothermal Embedding of Pd Single Atoms Into SnO2 for Efficient CO Oxidation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By applying hydrothermal regulation to SnO2‐supported PdO, we achieve atomic dispersion of Pd into the SnO2 lattice, which activates the lattice oxygen neighboring Pd atoms to generate oxygen vacancies and facilitates subsequent O2 activation, thereby promoting CO oxidation to proceed via a low‐energy‐barrier MvK pathway while avoiding CO poisoning ...

Urbanization and health in Africa : exploring the interconnections between poverty, inequality and the burden of disease [PDF]

, 2005
There are few changes in the history of human existence comparable to urbanization in scope and potential to bring about biologic change. The transition in the developed world from an agricultural to an industrial-urban society has already produced ...

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]

, 2015
1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...
