Biological invasions are largely considered to be a “numbers game”, wherein the larger the
introduction effort, the greater the probability that an introduced population will become …

Despite the recognised conservation value of phylogenetic diversity, little is known about
how it is affected by the urbanisation process. Combining a complete avian phylogeny with …

Invasive birds cause damage to economies, natural resources, and human safety across the
globe. In the United States, rock doves (Columba livia), Eurasian collared doves …

Urban areas can drive rapid evolution of species and are hotspots for entry and
establishment of invasive species, but it is unclear how urban evolution is impacting the …

Context Urbanization fragments and destroys natural landscapes, generally decreasing bird
diversity. While in some cases bird diversity continuously decreases in response to …

The rapid urbanization of the world has profound effects on global biodiversity, and
urbanization has been counted among the processes contributing to the homogenization of …

Aim We analysed the role of species interactions in wildlife community responses to
urbanization. Specifically, we investigated non‐trophic associations within a bird community …

The identification of effects of invasive species is challenging owing to their multifaceted
impacts on native biota. Negative impacts are most often reflected in individual fitness rather …

Increased urbanisation influences the morphometric traits of various species, often resulting
in urban individuals being smaller than their non-urban counterparts. Urbanisation can affect …

Landfills provide seasonally reliable food resources to many bird species, including those
perceived to be pest or invasive species. However, landfills often contain multiple habitat …
