Local floral resources and edge density within the urban ecosystem promote larger and less variable body size in the great banded furrow bee, Halictus scabiosae

Abstract An organism’s body size is a fundamental trait linked to its metabolism, life-history and dispersal. In holometabolous insects, whose size is fixed at adult eclosion, body size can be influenced by environmental factors during development (e.g. nutrition and temperature), or by ecological f...
