  abstract = {{I}ncreasing numbers of cities are currently developing sustainable policies aimed at promoting urban biodiversity and ecological dynamics through the planning of green networks and the implementation of more sustainable management practices. {T}hese human activities can strongly influence environmental factors on which the organization of ecological communities at different scales depends. {T}hus, it is of fundamental importance to understand the relative impact of local management, green space design and landscape features on the distribution and the abundance of species in urban areas. {O}n the basis of 2 years of butterfly surveys in urban public parks within an extensive {M}editerranean metropolitan area, {M}arseille ({S}outh-{E}ast {F}rance), the aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of the effect of these three environmental scales (plot, park, landscape) on the composition and organization of species assemblages. {U}sing variation partitioning and nestedness analysis on ecological data aggregated at plot-level and park-level respectively, we demonstrate the preponderant effect of landscape scale features on urban butterfly assemblages. {O}ur results also highlight an important co-variation of plot management, park layout and urban landscape features, in their interaction with the community structure of urban butterflies. {A}lthough there is no significant species-area relationship, significantly nested patterns arise in species composition. {S}elective colonization appears as a driving force constraining the constitution of species assemblages within the city. {H}owever, a prospective study on adjacent more natural areas suggests that biotic limitations, interspecific competition and habitat filtering may play an important role if a larger portion of the urbanization gradient is explored, which remains to be investigated.},
