Citizen science, the involvement of volunteers in research, has increased the scale of
ecological field studies with continent-wide, centralized monitoring efforts and, more rarely …

▪ Abstract A growing number of species have been transported and introduced by humans to
new locations and have established self-sustaining wild populations beyond their natural …

The global decline in biodiversity as a result of urbanization remains poorly understood.
Whereas habitat destruction accounts for losses at the species level, it may not explain …

Biological invaders represent one of the primary threats to the maintenance of global
biodiversity, human health, and the success of human economic enterprises. The continuing …

Intentional feeding of wild birds in gardens or backyards is one of the most popular forms of

their survival. I reviewed the published literature for hollow-using Australian birds and …

Similar to the process seen in invasion biology, urbanized environments lead to biotic
homogenization with a few species, often alien, dominating the urban habitat. We …

The demographic and phylogeographic histories of species provide insight into the
processes responsible for generating biological diversity, and genomic datasets are now …

To date, most studies of nest site selection have failed to take into account more than one
