Abstract
Despite negative impacts of urbanisation, urban gardens and allotments can provide habitat and resources for pollinating insects.
Using an interdisciplinary approach, I assess socio-economic and environmental drivers in structuring urban pollinator communities, testing ecological and social approaches in allotment gardens along a deprivation gradient in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Surveys for plant-pollinator interactions and floral resources were conducted along linear transects and in individual plots. Social surveys of allotment holders collected information about garden management, socio-demographic features and biodiversity perception.
The study offers an overview on the relationships between socio-economic and ecological drivers and pollinator diversity and abundance in urban allotments.
