2016 journal article

Urban warming reduces aboveground carbon storage

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 283(1840), 20161574.

By: E. Meineke n, E. Youngsteadt n , R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Meineke n, E. Youngsteadt n , R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; carbon storage; urban heat island effect; ecosystem services; herbivory
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon; Carbon Sequestration; Cities; Ecosystem; Herbivory; Insecta; Temperature; Trees / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Urban Green Space and Health; Urban Heat Island Mitigation; Land Use and Ecosystem Services
TL;DR: The results suggest that urban trees will sequester even less carbon in the future and ecosystem service assessments that do not consider urban conditions may overestimate urban tree carbon storage. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 article

Early pest development and loss of biological control are associated with urban warming

Meineke, E. K., Dunn, R. R., & Frank, S. D. (2014, November 1). Biology Letters, Vol. 10.

By: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; ecosystem services; parasitoid
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Control Agents; Cities; Global Warming; Hemiptera / growth & development; Hemiptera / parasitology; Insecta / growth & development; Insecta / physiology; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; North Carolina; Nymph / growth & development; Nymph / parasitology; Pest Control, Biological; Trees / growth & development
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and animal studies; Species Distribution and Climate Change; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: Evidence that a pest develops earlier due to urban warming but that phenology of its parasitoid community does not similarly advance is provided, associated with greater egg production that likely leads to more pests on trees. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 article

Urban Warming Drives Insect Pest Abundance on Street Trees

Meineke, E. K., Dunn, R. R., Sexton, J. O., & Frank, S. D. (2013, March 27). PLoS ONE, Vol. 8.

By: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n , J. Sexton* & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Meineke n, R. Dunn n , J. Sexton* & S. Frank n 

MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Cities; Hemiptera / growth & development; North Carolina; Parasites / growth & development; Quercus / parasitology; Temperature; Trees / parasitology
topics (OpenAlex): Plant responses to elevated CO2; Insects and Parasite Interactions; Species Distribution and Climate Change
TL;DR: It is shown that the abundance of a common insect pest is positively related to temperature even when controlling for other habitat characteristics, providing the first evidence that heat can be a key driver of insect pest outbreaks on urban trees. (via Semantic Scholar)
