DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8046
Abstract: Abstract Semi‐natural habitats (SNHs) are becoming increasingly scarce in modern agricultural landscapes. This may reduce natural ecosystem services such as pest control with its putatively positive effect on crop production. In agreement with other studies,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-020-01003-4
Abstract: The role of urban areas in the introduction of alien plant species, and their subsequent spread in the countryside, has long been identified. However, it was mainly considered indirectly due to the lack of data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111234
Abstract: Urbanization is an important human-driven process that leads to biodiversity loss and alters the interactions between organisms, including disease transmission. Although urbanization affects both host and vector communities, the effects on vector-borne pathogens are still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111885
Abstract: An increase in human population generally exerts pressure on natural habitats and leads to a decline in biodiversity resources. As a proxy for biodiversity study, an evaluation of habitat quality (HQ) change caused by land… read more here.
