Island biogeography of insect conservation in urban green spaces by FATTORINI, SIMONE, MANTONI, CRISTINA, DE SIMONI, LIVIA, GALASSI, DIANA M.P.

“…Because of their isolation, biotic communities of urban green spaces are expected to be similar to those of oceanic islands. This should be particularly true…”
