BtBs seminar - Stories of bees, plants and more in the city – Insights from taxonomic and trait-based approaches

Marco Moretti, The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest Snow and Landscape Research WSL.

Cities are challenging environments for plants, bees, and other invertebrates. But what determines which species succeed, which struggle, and how they respond to urban life? In this talk, I will explore how urban environments shape biodiversity through a combination of social and environmental filters. Using taxonomic and trait-based approaches, I will analyse how these filters influence communities and individual organisms and examine strategies that help species survive and reproduce in cities. Drawing on the findings of previous studies, time permitting, I will outline an interdisciplinary project currently under way which aims to address some of the issues raised by those studies.

Host: Biella
