“…As a highly sensitive biological group to urbanization, birds are widely concerned (Beissinger & Osborne, 1982;Blair, 1996;Blandón et al, 2016;Emlen, 1974;Gaston, 2000;Lancaster & Rees, 1979;Rottenborn, 1999;Shou, 2015). Birds are also an important part of the biodiversity of urban lake-wetlands, whose diversity level is often used to measure the health status of lake-wetland ecosystems (Gong et al, 2013;Noss et al, 1996).…”

This study selected nine typical urban lake-wetlands in Daqing as the research object, and analyzed the key factors influencing diversity of the lake-wetland bird based on GIS technology and the field investigation. The bird diversity index (H ') was significantly positively correlated with the proportion of grassland area within the 500 m buffer zone, and the bird diversity was positively correlated with the proportion of grassland area, and grassland became the main habitat or foraging place for birds. Multiple regression analysis of common species and 10 habitat environmental characteristics parameters showed that there were inter-species differences in habitat parameters affecting distribution of birds, which was related to the differences in bird adaptability to different habitats. Moreover, the diversity of birds decreased with the increase of the proportion of urban construction land and the degree of human disturbance. So maintaining the diversity of habitat types and structures is the key to improving the richness of birds. Measures to protect the natural habitat of city and restore the effective habitat of plants and plants will help to increase the diversity of species in urban lake-wetlands. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Concerning the impacts of fragmentation on the decline in vertebrates, plants and fungi, our analyses identify fragmentation as clearly the most important cause of species decline for vertebrates and plants, but not for fungi, in the Netherlands. The impact of fragmentation on vertebrates has been shown in several papers (e.g., Haddad et al, 2015;Blandón et al, 2016). Likewise, the impact of fragmentation on plants confirms earlier research that identified colonization ability to be crucial for local plant survival (Blomqvist et al, 2003;Ozinga et al, 2009;Evju et al, 2015;Haddad et al, 2015).…”

“…In contrast, the fragmented habitat is completely isolated and surrounded by a highly disturbed urban matrix. Fragment isolation also hinders chances of colonisation, especially for species with low dispersal abilities (Tischendorf & Fahrig 2000;Blandón et al 2016). In addition, fragmentation often severely affects those species with specialised habitat and resource requirements (Devictor et al 2008;Nordén et al 2013;Matthews et al 2014), thus limiting their spatial occurrence and causing the disruption of the native assemblage structure.…”

In the particular case of wasps, which are territorial insects, populations tend to be concentrated in the same location and clustered distributional patterns predominate (Richards 1971), which may have translated into less individuals and species in the fragmented habitat.…”

Landscape fragmentation is one of the greatest threats to environments globally, affecting all living organisms within fragments at many assembly levels. Despite such general assumptions, very few reports exist on the diversity patterns of Amazonian social wasps (Polistinae) in response to fragmentation. Our study aims at addressing how the community patterns of social wasp change from continuous to fragmented landscapes in the Amazon rainforest. We collected social wasps for a year (11 520 trap-hour effort) in a continuous forest and a highly disturbed urban forest fragment, located in Manaus, Brazil. We attracted wasps using sardine and orange juice traps, placed in 20 sampling plots. We collected 2742 wasps from 29 species. Agelaia pallipes, Angiopolybia pallens and Agelaia fulvofasciata were the most abundant species. We detected significant differences in overall abundance, species richness and species composition of social wasps between landscapes. Conversely, no difference in species diversity (effective number of species) was found between habitats. Despite the low quantity of exclusive species, the numbers of most species declined sharply in the fragmented habitat, while for one species (Polybia rejecta), abundance increased. Regarding the percentile of species contribution to dissimilarity between landscapes, five out of the first six species were highly abundant (>100 individuals), thus demonstrating that the observed pattern was very likely driven by common species. Additionally, our findings highlight that fragmentation threatens abundant species as much as rare species. We hope that our results encourage the use of social wasps as models in basic and applied ecological surveys and further efforts for conservation of pristine forest areas in the tropical region of South America.
