“…Humans have mediated fundamental transitions in the distributions and abundances of both managed and nonmanaged species (Achard et al, 2002;Foley et al, 2005;Keeley, 2002;Klimaszewski-Patterson & Mensing, 2016). Such community compositional change continues at a rapid pace (Seebens et al, 2015(Seebens et al, , 2017Tarolli, 2016) and is often driven broadly by landscape-scale changes (Otto et al, 2016;Tarolli et al, 2014). Understanding how alterations in landscape structure and composition affect the composition and functioning of communities is a central goal in applied ecology.…”

Understanding animal foraging ecology requires large samples sizes spanning broad environmental and temporal gradients. For pollinators, this has been hampered by the laborious nature of morphologically identifying pollen. Metagenetic pollen analysis is a solution to this issue, but the field has struggled with poor quantitative performance. Building upon prior laboratory and bioinformatic methods, we applied quantitative multi-locus metabarcoding to characterize the foraging ecology of honey bee colonies situated along an urban-agricultural gradient in central Ohio, USA. In cross-validating a subset of our metabarcoding results using microscopic palynology, we find strong concordance between the molecular and microscopic methods. Our results show that, relative to the agricultural environment, urban and suburban environments were associated with higher taxonomic diversity and temporal turnover of honey bee pollen forage. This is likely reflective of the fine-grain heterogeneity and high beta diversity of urban floral landscapes at the scale of honey bee foraging. Our work also demonstrates the power of honey bees as environmental samplers of floral community composition at large spatial scales, aiding in the distinction of taxa characteristically associated with urban or agricultural land use from those distributed ubiquitously across our landscape gradient.

“…Similar to other big cities, an increasingly intensive development of the second and the third system was observed, which was mostly possible thanks to the use of the natural system, that is, at its expense (Chmielewski 2005 ; Pincetl 2012 ). With time, the growing disparities in the development of respective systems gave rise to many environmental problems (Tarolli et al 2014 ; Xue 2012 ).…”

The study covered an urban river valley, strongly transformed due to the transport infrastructure development. The paper evaluates changes in spatial management of the valley section passing through the city centre that occurred during the past two centuries (long-term and short-term phenomena) as well as their effect on selected environmental components. The basic spatial analyses were carried out with the use of specialized software, cartographic materials and photographic and descriptive documentation of the studied area (archival data). The most unfavourable changes in the potential of the valley environment occurred over the past few decades. They are manifested in a considerable deterioration of landscape values as well as the quantity and quality of water resources. Relationship was identified between water quality and intensity of motor vehicle traffic near the river. Despite the progressing urbanisation of the valley, revitalisation procedures can be still carried out and attractive space in the city centre can be created. In order to demonstrate the reasonableness of the presented concept, the paper suggests that urban succession should be incorporated as a term covering time trends and accumulated transformations. It can be helpful in analysing and determining the directions of development in disputable situations.
