I've combed the literature, but am having a hard time finding any examples. Specifically, I am looking for any examples of non-native insects that respond negatively, or neutrally, to anthropogenic disturbance in terms of their abundance or species richness/diversity. Thanks in advance to anyone who knows of an example!
Of course, there are many such examples. Here are some of my articles.

i dont have any references, but see this often. Broad spectrum pesticides an insecticide use in cities and farms negatively affects non-native insects too.

Hello again! Unfortunately, I'm still looking for some good examples with references. Thank you Pushkin Sergey Viktorovich for suggesting those 2 articles, but the 1st is not available in English and the 2nd does not quite match my request criteria. I am looking for studies that have explicitly SHOWN a negative response of a non-native species richness/abundance to human disturbance (like urbanization). In other words, non-native species that are more common in pristine/natural habitats rather than in disturbed habitat. Thank you!
