We found that urbanization influenced predator and parasitoid flower-visitors at all three spatial scales. At the local scale, streets and ...

The effects of urbanisation on ecological interactions - ScienceDirect

The majority of parasitoids are wasps and flies. Urbanisation can influence the behaviour, physiology and community structure of both insect ...

Urban green roofs can support a diversity of parasitoid wasps

This study documents that green roofs in a highly disturbed downtown urban center can support ecosystems complex enough to include a diversity ...

Effect of urban habitat use on parasitism in mammals: a meta-analysis

We used a meta-analytic approach to systematically assess differences in endoparasitism between mammals in urban and non-urban habitats.
