Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Reconciling timber production with the habitat requirements of forest‐dependent wildlife is a challenge for biodiversity conservation. In managed Central Hardwood Forests of the United States, female northern long‐eared bats (Myotis septentrionalis) selected tree roosts near ridgetops and management features, including recently created regeneration ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Climate refugia through the integration of topographic and biodiversity features offer a practical method to expand protection networks in central Chile. Our results show that the inclusion of relatively small climate refugia areas to protection networks can greatly improve ecosystem representation, advancing toward meeting Target 3 of the Kunming ...

Urban Bats: City Lovers or Refugees?
Ethology, EarlyView.Hypothetical relationship between urbanisation intensity and bat species population persistence framed through a species refuge concept. Moderately urbanised landscapes may function as temporal refuge zones where habitat heterogeneity and establishment suitability allow some bat species to colonise and persist.

Ethology, EarlyView.In the social pseudoscorpion Paratemnoides nidificator, populations across contrasting urban and peri‐urban environments exhibit marked morphological divergence and consistent sexual dimorphism. Crucially, relative development of the prey‐capture pedipalp apparatus (rather than absolute body size) is positively integrated with proactive collective ...
