Sap-feeding insects do not respond uniformly to urbanization: The role of urban green spaces and species characteristics by Dávid Korányi, Ádám Kőrösi, András Orosz, Viktor Markó

“…Urbanization leads to an increase in built-up areas but also creates landscape element mosaics, providing various habitats for phytophagous species. Sap-feeding insects (Hemiptera) form a major component of arboreal insect communities with many highly damaging and difficult-to-control pests of urban trees. …”

Exposure of insects to current use pesticide residues in soil and vegetation along spatial and temporal distribution in agricultural sites by Carolina Honert, Ken Mauser, Ursel Jäger, Carsten A. Brühl

“…Abstract Current use pesticides (CUPs) are recognised as the largest deliberate input of bioactive substances into terrestrial ecosystems and one of the main factors responsible for the current decline in insects in agricultural areas. To quantify seasonal insect exposure in the landscape at a regional scale (Rhineland-Palatine in Germany), we analysed the presence of multiple (93) active ingredients in CUPs across three different agricultural cultivation types (with each three fields: arable, vegetable, viticulture) and neighbouring meadows. …”
