Incident light quality can alter flower and leaf color perception by insects, depending on the emission spectra of light sources and the spectral sensitivity of insects. We asked, using <em>Manduca sexta</em> visual models, whether color contrast against natural backgrounds is altered by artificial lights for flowers and leaves of 16 plant species with an estimated long history of coevolution with hawkmoth pollinators. Specifically, we compared the perception of flowers and leaves by hawkmoths under artificial lights, including light-emitting diodes (5000 K LED), mercury vapor (MV), and high-pressure sodium (HPS) artificial lights, with the perception under natural illuminations. The models we implemented estimate that LED and HPS lighting change hawkmoth perception of flowers and leaves, with color loci appearing nearer to each other in hawkmoths perceptual space than they would be under natural nighttime conditions. Receptor Noise Limited models show that under the different lighting conditions hawkmoths would still discriminate flowers from their leaves in most but not all species. Consequently, artificial lights likely alter perception by hawkmoths of floral and leaf signals possibly affecting interactions and fitness of plants and pollinators. Our results emphasize the intricate and insidious ways in which human-made environments impact species interactions. Further studies should confirm whether light pollution represents a novel selective force to nocturnal interacting partners as emerging evidence suggests. Addressing the effects of artificial lighting is crucial for designing infrastructure development strategies that minimize these far-reaching effects on ecosystem functioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":48869,"journal":{"name":"Urban Ecosystems","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to analyze the behavioral patterns of the burrowing owl in different urbanized areas near the dunes and assess the impact of local urbanization on alarm emission. The study focused on the beaches of Interpraias-Balneário Camboriú, Central-Navegantes, Península-Barra Velha, and Brava-Itajaí. The data analysis involved Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn's post hoc tests to compare alarm distances, as well as calculating relative frequencies of different behaviors. Discriminant Analysis (LDA), PERMANOVA, and SIMPER were also applied. A total of 214 h of observation were conducted across the sampled beaches. The results indicated significant differences in alarm behavior distances, with Barra Velha and Itajaí standing out from the other areas, highlighting the influence of urbanization on alarm behavior. Six categories of behavior were identified: rest, alarm, body maintenance, burrow maintenance, social interaction, and foraging, with distinct frequencies observed during the day and night.

A weighted multi-critera analysis (WMCA) model was developed based on relevant open data and open tools for resolving the mosquito (<i>Culex pipiens</i>) variations based on geographical variables, such as land cover/use, leaf area index, and building and green (vegetation) area fractions, within the city. The results show a clear relationship between mosquito prevalence and green-area fraction (of grass and trees), indicating that urban GBI extension can enhance mosquito prevalence, with possible associated negative impacts. This relationship is supported directly by data, showing significantly higher mosquito prevalence with higher ambient humidity, which in turn is related to larger green-area fraction.

To tackle this, the Urban Ecosystem Integrity Index (UEII) was recently proposed to spatially represent the interplay between the intensity of urbanization and the biological components of cities, including urban biodiversity. The UEII has shown to be effective in measuring the ecosystem integrity of a Neotropical city; however its generalized applicability remains to be tested. Thus, here we tested the suitability of the UEII when applied in a boreal city and also evaluated if it adds more valuable information than the NDVI (also contrasting it with a UEII previously published for a tropical city), which is often suggested as a proxy of urban greenness and therefore the ecology of cities. We calculated the UEII by considering land surface temperature, built-up cover, and native plants and bird species richness of the city of Lahti, Finland (Palearctic; boreal). The UEII showed to be robust, comparable, and effective in capturing the intra and inter-urban spatial heterogeneity of both cities. Moreover, although the UEII and NDVI values correlated, the variance in such correlation showed the detail that the UEII brings to the quantificaiton of the ecological integrity of the cities, representing a more integral indicator. Thus, our findings indicate that the UEII is a valuable tool to inform on areas requiring ecological enhancement, as well as identifying those that are thriving, in cities ranging from tropical and highly biodiverse to boreal and with considerable less biodiversity.</p>","PeriodicalId":48869,"journal":{"name":"Urban Ecosystems","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the effect of landscape structure, at the site and city scales, on beetle abundance, individual body size, and relative horn length of males. At the local scale, landscapes with greater forest cover showed greater abundance of dung beetles, as well as greater lengths of <i>D. boreus</i> horns. Cities with a greater amount of forest cover had larger individuals than those with less forest cover. We conclude that forested areas in urban landscapes are a key habitat for the maintenance of dung beetle populations with a strong relationship between the amount of forest cover in the landscape.

Using standardized butterfly captures at paired urban and (semi)natural field sites within the invaded range in Switzerland, we demonstrate that <em>P. mannii</em> is strongly associated with cities and towns. At least in some urban localities, this species is now the most common butterfly, and densities tend to be particularly high where urban areas are large. Because urban habitats commonly provide non-native host plants and perhaps also the physical structure and microclimate suitable to this butterfly, urbanization has clearly promoted the species’ rapid invasion. Studying phenology over an entire season, we further infer that <em>P. mannii</em> has up to six generations per year, which may allow the species to adjust its life cycle to changing season length during northward expansion.

To address this problem, a study of the seven urban floras in Bosnia and Herzegovina was conducted to determine the pattern of floristic diversity and correlation with anthropogenic factors: size of the urban area, ratio of green areas in the total urban area, number of inhabitants, and population density. The first finding of the study is that urban floras in Bosnia and Herzegovina are rich in plant species. The results have shown that the urban floristic diversity largely reflects the natural vegetation of the urban environment, compared to urban floras in other parts of Europe. Species structure reflects the geographical location as well, so are the urban areas in the Mediterranean biogeographical region, Mostar and Blagaj, floristically richer, but at the same time species richness correlates with the total urban area, as in Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Moreover, the proportion of alien species is low and there is no pronounced process of floras homogenisation. Of the anthropogenisation factors, population density correlates most strongly with the richness of urban flora.
