Urban fragmentation leads to lower floral diversity, with knock-on impacts on bee biodiversity
Abstract Bees and flowering plants are two closely interacting groups of organisms. Habitat loss and fragmentation associated with urbanisation are major threats to both partners. Yet how and why bee and floral richness and diversity co-vary within the urban landscape remain unclear. Here, we sample...
