These eye-catching insects offer a prime opportunity for scientists to dig deep into invasion ecology and evolutionary biology

Despite growing investments in nature-based solutions for urban resilience, their design often overlooks a fundamental biological process: evolution. Populations of organisms that sustain nature-based...

Moths (Lepidoptera) are sensitive to anthropogenic threats and serve as valuable bioindicators. Despite the remarkable diversity and abundance of Lepidoptera globally, there is a lack of information o...

River ecosystems are experiencing increased heat, drought, and other extreme events, with a range of consequences for biodiversity; inspired by the Review...

Nature Reviews Biodiversity - The urban mosaic is a complex assimilation of habitats, biotic and abiotic factors with eco-evolutionary influence on local and regional biodiversity. In this Review,...

Abstract. Habitat destruction and invasive species pose two of the greatest global threats to biodiversity. These factors do not operate in isolation, and

For these Class of 2025 alumni, working with a dedicated mentor and teammates made all the difference

When thinking about a city at night, chances are that you include some twinkling streetlights in your mental image. Billboards, streetlamps, and neon signs are no novel presence to city dwellers. Thes...

The harsh, brutal urban environment is increasing. In Europe, the Netherlands ranks as one of the countries with the lowest forest cover (10%), with wooden forests being replaced by concrete jungles. ...

Urban wildlife knows more about us than we think. Birds and mammals are able to read our behaviour and recognize individual humans.

The eastern chipmunk is well adapted to the urban environment. They spend less time foraging and their reproductive succes is better.

“Dad, what are those birds? I’ve never seen them before” I remember asking my dad when I was younger. We were outside having a barbecue and for the first time, I noticed several green birds flying ove...

Microorganisms are essential members of soil ecosystems, and they form complex, interactive networks [4] including communications and interactions with each other that are similar to human communities...

City lights, moonlit nights: examining bat responses to urbanization and lunar cycles Claysson de Aguiar Silva & Ludmilla M. S. Aguiar  Abstract Urbanization is one of the most abrupt mechanisms of land use change. This process can generate significant impacts on biodiversity, and its effects on bat activity patterns need further exploration due to the importance of these animals in controlling insect populations and maintaining ecological balance.
