URban Biodiversity

 

Which species persist in cities? Which don’t? Do cities experience biotic homogenization? To what extent is regional biodiversity represented in urban areas? What are the conditions that enable higher biodiversity? As a member of the NSF-funded UrBioNet, I am actively engaged in the synthesis and metanalysis of global research on urban biodiversity patterns, including the impact of different urban drivers on taxonomic and functional trait diversity across multiple taxa.
