Cities alter the latitudinal diversity gradient of birds in North America

2026-02-16

Abstract excerpt

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is a widely recognized biogeographic pattern, yet its persistence under increasing human impacts remains unclear. Leveraging 17 million eBird records, we investigated how urbanization alters LDGs in North America. We quantified LDGs across 662 cities and their surroundings, and found that LDGs vary by season and native status: non-native species exhibited weak or no LDG, wh...
