Changes in home range sizes and population densities of carnivore species along the natural to urban habitat gradient
With rapid development and the spread of urbanized land, there is an increasing need to
understand species' responses to urban conditions. Carnivores are considered to be …

Urbanisation tolerance and the loss of avian diversity
D Sol, C González‐Lagos, D Moreira… - Ecology …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Urbanisation is considered an important driver of current biodiversity loss, but the underlying
causes are not fully understood. It is generally assumed that this loss reflects the fact that …

Evidence of evolutionary homogenization of bird communities in urban environments across Europe
Aim The process of urbanization can lead to specialist species being replaced by generalist
species in space and time, increasing similarity among bird communities. This phenomenon …

The geography of fear: a latitudinal gradient in anti-predator escape distances of birds across Europe
All animals flee from potential predators, and the distance at which this happens is optimized
so the benefits from staying are balanced against the costs of flight. Because predator …

Urban and rural habitats differ in number and type of bird feeders and in bird species consuming supplementary food
Bird feeding is one of the most widespread direct interactions between man and nature, and
this has important social and environmental consequences. However, this activity can differ …
