This study predicted avian species using the social area analysis approach, and census tract block group variables. By using European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) as a focal species, I wished to determine what socioeconomic ...

Urbanization alters ecosystems worldwide, but little is known about its effects in the Neotropical region. In the present research we examined the relative influence of different levels of urbanization and of some urban ...

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 investigated avian communities across an urban gradient ...

Each site was surveyed monthly from September 2004 through August 2005, between 18:00h to 1:00, totalizing thirty-six nights and 252 hours of capture. The bats were captured using four mist nets (9 m x 2.5 m), totalizing ...

Bat activity was sampled using the same study design as Threlfall et al. (2011), in 29 randomly selected replicate 5 5 km 'landscapes'. Landscapes were categorized based on the average level of urbanization and vegetation ...

Bees were collected with water traps. Two pairs of bowls were set out per site,with members within a pair separated by 20 cm and pairs separated by 5 ill. Collected a total of 256 samples. Unscented liquid soap was used ...

Conducted a pilot study consisting of informal collections across the Vancouver metropolitan area from April to September of 2000. The primary study was conducted from March to August 2001, cut into five seasons: late ...

Used echolocation call detectors (n = 378 detector-nights from November 2005 to October 2006) to assess bat activity among different sites in the Adelaide City parklands, temporal variations in activity (hourly, nightly, ...

All spontaneous species in the city of Halle (Saale) were mapped within several years by J. Stolle and S. Klotz; added by information on species sighted within the city by other botanists and added by herbarium data.

Stream location and salamander count data from a study conducted on the Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina, USA. Also provided is an R script for conducting the analyses described in the manuscript. See manuscript ...

Mist-netting was the survey technique over ultrasound-sensing because netting allowed for the elimination of repeat captures, which was required for statistical independence, and allowed for the determination of age ratios, ...

Cities represent an important threat to biodiversity at different scales. Nevertheless, little is known on the processes underlying such effects. In this paper we describe bird diversity, structure, and composition patterns ...

Data were collected: April 2015-August 2015.

Cities are highly modified environments in which the only areas that resemble natural landscapes are urban parks with low human population density. Attempts are frequently made to maintain high bird diversity in cities for ...
