Conservation efforts are most effective when we have complete demographic information for
a species of concern. Nevertheless, fundamental gaps in our knowledge of demography still …

For altricial young, fledging is an abrupt step into an unknown environment. Despite
increasing numbers of studies addressing the post‐fledging period, our current knowledge …

The concept of a pace‐of‐life syndrome describes inter‐and intraspecific variation in several
life‐history traits along a slow‐to‐fast pace‐of‐life continuum, with long lifespans, low …

Phenotypic traits developed in one life‐history stage can carryover and affect survival in
subsequent stages. For songbirds, carryover effects from the pre‐to post‐fledging period …

Urban sprawl is associated with deep and intense modifications of the natural habitats of
wild vertebrates. Although, many species are unable to cope with such an environment, a …

Urbanization can affect interspecific interactions such as predator-prey relationships.
Several hypotheses have been postulated to predict how predation on bird nests changes …

Species occur in urban landscapes under a wide range of conditions and densities, but
knowing only the pattern of occurrence provides limited information about species-specific …

Collisions with windows are an important human-related threat to birds in urban landscapes.
However, the proximate drivers of collisions are not well understood, and no study has …

Understanding how invasive plants affect biodiversity is a crucial conservation need.
Numerous studies examine impacts of invasions on birds, but trends in these effects have …

Many avian species persist in human‐dominated landscapes; however, little is known about
the demographic consequences of urbanization in these populations. Given that urban …
