Urbanization is affecting arthropod communities worldwide, for example by changing the availability of food resources. However, the strength and direction of a community's response is species-specific and depends on species' trophic level. Here, we investigated interacting species at different trophic levels in nests of cavity-nesting bees and wasp...

Little is known about the effects of urbanization on women’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV). The scarcity of empirical studies on this relationship can be partly attributed to the lack of an objective measure of urbanization levels. In this study, we investigate the effects of urbanization on Ethiopian women’s attitudes toward IPV...

The ecological environment is fragile in arid regions, and the direct and indirect impacts of continuing urbanization on vegetation growth in cities still need to be studied in depth. In this study, we focused on four provincial capital cities (Urumqi, Lanzhou, Yinchuan, and Hohhot) in arid regions of China. We used continuous 30 m land cover and v...

Intensive human and economic activities in urban areas have had adverse effects on local resources and ecology, leading to a decline in ecological resilience. Enhancing ecological resilience is crucial for improving the urban ecosystem's ability to withstand and recover from external risks. However, quantitative research on urban ecological resilie...

The development of urban areas now requires the integration of biodiversity issues, and this leads to better consideration of their seminatural habitats. Among these habitats, urban grasslands subjected to mowing management practices are commonly promoted over lawns to enhance biodiversity in cities. Despite their ecological value, relatively littl...

Nest beach selection by sea turtles at a regional scale may depend on upper shore environmental cues. Thus, the variability of sandy beach conditions, including coastal erosion rates and urban development can affect their nesting ecology. Almost half of worldwide sandy beaches are suffering from erosion and most of them are located in highly develo...
