This study examines how habitat amount, temperature, and biotic interactions influence community structure and traits of cavity-nesting bees, wasps, and their natural enemies in urban areas.

The paper introduces a new measure, the Phenotypic Dissimilarity Index (PhD), to better quantify phenotypic variation by accounting for within-population trait variability and provides an R function for its calculation.

The paper tests how trade-offs in abiotic stress tolerance affect plant range size and filling, finding that cold/wet-drought trade-offs influence range size but not filling.
