As more and more people live in areas of high urban density and have limited contact with the natural world, we need to understand and emphasise the benefits provided by both ornamental and functional urban greenspaces. A critical component to the function of such greenspaces are their insects and the ecosystem services they provide. Now, more than ever, we need to explicitly build the body of research associated with the beneficial insects of city and peri-urban spaces. This session will highlight key research in this area from a recent Special Issue in RES journal Insect Conservation and Diversity on The Ecology and Conservation of Urban Insects.
We will welcome two authors from this special issue to speak live about their research, as well as hear short videos from additional authors. You will then have an opportunity to ask questions live.
