Urbanization is an important ecological factor that modifies the living conditions of species at
multiple levels. Urbanization is also influenced by human-animal relationships. We studied …

Although rapid growth in the extent of urbanized habitats across the globe represents a
major threat to biodiversity, there is growing evidence that urban ecosystems can represent …

Although many bird species worldwide are colonizing urban environments, the ecological
processes underlying the responses to urbanization remain unclear. Here we examined the …

As urban growth continues at an ever-increasing rate, it is important for city architects and

Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian magpie Pica pica is a resident bird species able to
colonize farmlands and anthropized environments. This corvid shows a wide trophic …

Simple Summary The aim of this study was to estimate the Magpie population and to give a
detailed characterization of nest site selection in a medium size city in Poland (Gorzów …

The interrelationships of many urban birds, especially the ones that influence other birds'
nesting populations, remain understudied. Hooded crows (Corvus cornix) and Eurasian …

The “costs of predation” hypothesis predicts that larger nests are more likely to be predated
than smaller ones. However, nest size has not been found to be related to predation …
