So Im writing a essay on loss of biodiversity and Im focusing on the fact that urbanization and the development of urban communities may make biodiversity decay and is a huge factor in why there is a loss of biodiversity. However my prof has asked me to focus more on a specfic example where this is happening so I need help finding a spefici place where currenlty urbanization has resulted in a loss of biodiverity and it needs to be very specffic. Can anyone provide me with links as well as I need scholary resources to link to for example published books or articcles or journals I can reference . Thanks

You're right, thanks!
You're welcome.
To find a specific example of urbanization causing a loss of biodiversity, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by conducting a literature search using academic databases and search engines such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, or ScienceDirect. These platforms provide access to a wide range of scholarly resources, including books, articles, and journals.
2. Use relevant keywords and combinations when conducting your search, such as "urbanization and biodiversity," "loss of biodiversity in urban areas," or "urban development impacts on biodiversity."
3. Narrow down your search by specifying the geographic location you are interested in studying. For example, if you want to focus on a specific city or region, include the name in your search terms.
4. As you begin to find relevant sources, evaluate their credibility and scholarly rigor. Check if the articles are peer-reviewed or published in reputable scientific journals. Pay attention to the author's credentials and affiliations.
5. Once you have selected appropriate sources, check if the full-text is accessible. Some articles may require a subscription or purchase, but many universities and libraries provide access to their students or offer interlibrary loan services.
Here are a few scholarly resources you can start with:
- Loss of Biodiversity in Urban Areas: A Global Review by Thomas Elmqvist et al. (Book)
- "The Role of Urban Parks for the Conservation of Biodiversity" by Cecilia Östberg et al. (Journal article)
- "Urbanization and the Loss and Fragmentation of Habitats for Specialist Plant and Animal Species" by Richard Fuller et al. (Journal article)
Remember to properly cite the sources you choose to include in your essay, following the specific citation format required by your professor or academic institution.
