Have you ever notice that while speaking about biotic homogenization, we almost never speak about behavior? It’s literally true. But that doesn’t mean behavioral homogenization isn't happening. Our new paper is finally out!

Our new study is out! 🏙️🦟Do invertebrates, like vertebrates, increase their tolerance to humans in cities? We found that dragonflies & damselflies don’t respond to urbanization itself, but rather to the level of human activity at the site.
