Bird data : South Africa, Pretoria
(Elsevier, 2009)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 ... -
Bird data : Brazil, Porto Alegre
(Springer, 2011)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 ... -
