Many ecological and evolutionary processes are affected by urbanization, but cities vary by
orders of magnitude in their human population size and areal extent. To quantify and …

Urbanization poses a major threat to biodiversity worldwide. We focused on birds as a well-
studied taxon of interest, in order to review literature on traits that influence responses to …

Cities are both embedded within and ecologically linked to their surrounding landscapes.
Although urbanization poses a substantial threat to biodiversity, cities also support many …

Human impacts reshape ecological communities through the extinction and introduction of
species. The combined impact of these factors depends on whether non-native species fill …

Urbanization is a major driver of land use change and biodiversity decline. While most of the
ongoing and future urbanization hotspots are located in the Global South, the impact of …

Urbanization is a major contributor to biodiversity declines. However, studies assessing
effects of urban landscapes per se (ie, disentangled from focal habitat effects) on biodiversity …

Europe is an urbanized continent characterized by a long history of human-wildlife
interactions. This study aimed to assess the effects of specific elements of urbanization and …

Most ecological studies use remote sensing to analyze broad‐scale biodiversity patterns,
focusing mainly on taxonomic diversity in natural landscapes. One of the most important …

Urbanization is a major contributor to the loss of biodiversity. Its rapid progress is mostly at
the expense of natural ecosystems and the species inhabiting them. While some species …

In cities, green areas are essential for biodiversity conservation, with land cover
heterogeneity being a decisive factor. Yet, as heterogeneity increases for a given green …
