Linear infrastructure habitats increase landscape-scale diversity of plants but not of flower-visiting insects

Abstract Habitats along linear infrastructure, such as roads and electrical transmission lines, can have high local biodiversity. To determine whether these habitats also contribute to landscape-scale biodiversity, we estimated species richness, evenness and phylogenetic diversity of plant, butterfl...
