Urbanisation and nest building in birds: a review of threats and opportunities
S James Reynolds, JD Ibáñez-Álamo… - Journal of …, 2019 - Springer
The world is urbanising rapidly, and it is predicted that by 2050, 66% of the global human
population will be living in urban areas. Urbanisation is characterised by land-use changes …

The worldwide impact of urbanisation on avian functional diversity
Urbanisation is driving rapid declines in species richness and abundance worldwide, but the
general implications for ecosystem function and services remain poorly understood. Here …

Residential yard management and landscape cover affect urban bird community diversity across the continental USA
Urbanization has a homogenizing effect on biodiversity and leads to communities with fewer
native species and lower conservation value. However, few studies have explored whether …

The effects of local and landscape habitat attributes on bird diversity in urban greenspaces
Contrasting trajectories of biodiversity loss and urban expansion make it imperative to
understand biodiversity persistence in cities. Size‐, local‐, and landscape‐level habitat …

The phylogenetic and functional diversity of regional breeding bird assemblages is reduced and constricted through urbanization
Aim Urbanization broadly affects the phylogenetic and functional diversity of natural
communities through a variety of processes including habitat loss and the introduction of …

Area is the primary correlate of annual and seasonal patterns of avian species richness in urban green spaces
Urban green spaces (UGS) often support diverse bird assemblages. Current evidence
suggests large UGS that are circular in shape and contain abundant tree canopy cover will …
