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 …

Urbanization has dramatically altered Earth's landscapes and changed a multitude of
environmental factors. This has resulted in intense land‐use change, and adverse …

Urbanization is a worldwide phenomenon associated with tremendous modifications of
natural habitats. Understanding how city dwelling species are affected by those changes is …

Many studies have compared results from sound recordings and traditional point-count
survey observer data when surveying avian communities. None have investigated the use of …

To ensure the survival of their offspring, birds need to precisely time their reproduction: when
offspring have the highest demand for food, food resources should be most abundant. In …

Background Examining direct and indirect effects on reproduction at multiple scales allows
for a broad understanding of species' resilience to environmental change. We examine how …

Abstract Trees release Herbivore-Induced Plant Volatiles (HIPVs) into the air in response to
damage inflicted by insects. It is known that songbirds use those compounds to locate their …

Variation in ambient temperature affects various life stages of organisms. It has been
suggested that climate change not only implies higher global temperatures but also more …

Worldwide, urbanization has transformed natural habitats and introduced a range of threats
to the species living therein, including exposure to trace elements, including heavy metals …

When evaluating avian reproduction, life history theory examines the trade‐offs between
parental effort, the number and size of offspring, and the rate of nestling development. The …
