Not only that: they have reduced their diversity, their interaction with the plant world and the way insects visit flowers. A discovery that is useful not only for denouncing the problems associated with wild overbuilding but also for identifying those actions which, on the contrary, can improve the role of green areas &#8211; wild and otherwise &#8211; in safeguarding pollinating animal species.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our findings &#8211; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/368541705_The_degree_of_urbanisation_reduces_wild_bee_and_butterfly_diversity_and_alters_the_patterns_of_flower-visitation_in_urban_dry_grasslands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> points out &#8211; show that urban grasslands are valuable habitats for pollinator communities and further underscore both the importance of minimizing urbanization intensity and development potential and management practices have in supporting insect biodiversity in cities\u201d.<\/p>\n<h5>A danger to ecosystem services<\/h5>\n<p>The research obviously starts from the consideration that the species and number of insects are increasingly threatened due to the alarming decline in their populations.

In the study, the German researchers found <strong>166 pollinator species and 67 plant species.<\/strong> Of the interactions between them, 54% were performed by wild bees, 22% by honey bees, 13% by hoverflies, and 10% by butterflies.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Good bee-saving practices<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The point is precisely this: to be able to<strong> reduce stress factors<\/strong>, instead enhancing the urban aspects that can help protect pollinators.
