Flowers and bees in the city: The impact of urbanisation on native plants and their insect pollinators
Year: 2021
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Urbanisation is one of the most intensive and irreversible ecosystem changes facing the plants, animals, and people that live in the world's cities.Where native vegetation is cleared, habitat loss and fragmentation have major impacts on the viability of animal and plant populations.Removal of vegetation reduces plant population size, which impacts the resources available to flower visitors.In turn, this can reduce plant pollination and subsequent reproductive success.
