The classification of plant species as native or exotic has ramifications for how they are
treated within urban green space policy and practice. Green spaces are built or managed to …

The effect of urbanization can be immense, yet our understanding is rudimentary. Here, we
compile the most recent information on urban impacts on avian populations and …

I examined the distribution and abundance of bird species across an urban gradient, and
concomitant changes in community structure, by censuring summer resident bird …

Urban ecological systems are characterized by complex interactions among social,
economic, institutional, and environmental variables. These interactions generate complex …

Human populations are increasing and becoming predominantly urban. Resulting land

We compared the avifauna in two cities, Québec (Canada) and Rennes (France), in order to
define general responses of wildlife in an urban ecosystem. These cities have a similar …

A functional network of green space is important for the maintenance of the ecological
dimension of a sustainable urban landscape. We used avian ecological diversity as a proxy …
