  2. #Urbanparks, here #Rehberge park #Berlin, can be areas of high #speciesdiversity, despite the large #city conditions. However, parks do not only host urban #biodiversity, but also fulfill diverse #humanneeds. G. Csomós et al. (2023) conducted surveys about the use and perception of #innercity #parks in #Budapest, highlighting parks, i.a., as important for #socialinteractions.

  7. Species diversity may depend on their similarities, not their differences. A new theory suggests that species coexist by sharing traits that allow them to exploit the same resources, such as food and habitat. The theory challenges the traditional view that species diversity is driven by niche differentiation or the ability to avoid competition.
