This is a meta-analysis showing that certain species are more impacted by urbanization than others. In particular, butterflies are susceptible and beekeeping could be exacerbating the issue by displacing native pollinators.

i very much would like to read this study… but I’m getting an error for the doi you linked. Could you please check you see if the doi was pasted correctly? thank you!
I added the link to the research paper above. Turns out the doi in the article is not correct.
It’s correct, it’s just that it was provided online ahead of print.
that’s awesome, thanks! 😎👍

Urban sprawl is endangering more than just our pollinators. Urban growth boundaries/urban growth areas should help from encroaching natural habitats, as it encourages more dense development rather than creating big plots of single family homes, but we’re growing too fast.In Oregon, the ugb gets adjusted every five years.
In addition to sprawl, these cities also make it more difficult for pollinators because of ordinances that require your lawns to be a certain way and length. Bees won’t get anything from a yard full of Kentucky grass at 2 inch max height vs a clover field.
Overall, it all sucks and I hate lawns.
Also, link to the paper since it’s not in print yet and only online. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37345567/
