Abstract
Declines in biodiversity are being observed, and pollinating insects are not spared. Among the environmental pressures on pollinator populations, changes in land use have been identified as a major threat. In Europe, urbanization (expansion and densification of urban areas) is the dominant land-use change, leading to a type of ecosystem with profoundly different abiotic and biotic characteristics. Using national and international literature, we'll look at how insect pollinator communities are modified in these urban environments, and why some cope better than others. Understanding the responses of pollinator communities will enable us to make recommendations and envisage adaptations to urban spaces to favor them.
