Urbanization is widely recognized as a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet its effects on the trophic structure of reptile communities remain poorly understood. This study re-analysed reptile presence–absence data from urban green-space fragments in Rome, Italy, to examine how urban habitat simplification affects the snake component and the trophic and functional structure of reptile assemblages. Fifteen reptile species wer...

Urban green spaces (UGS) provide important ecological, social, and climatic functions, but their effectiveness depends not only on their extent but also on their vertical vegetation structure. To this end, we present a high-resolution urban green space typology (UGST) for four Swiss cities (Basel, Bern, Geneva, and Zurich) derived from remotely sensed thematic (NDVI) and structural (vegetation height and VCI) data, comprising...
