What is an urban bird? Trait-based predictions of urban tolerance for the world’s birds are modulated by latitude and human population density

2022-10-28

Abstract excerpt

As human density increases, biodiversity must increasingly co-exist with urbanization or face local extinction. Tolerance of urban areas has been linked to numerous functional traits, yet few globally-consistent patterns have emerged to explain variation in urban tolerance, which stymies attempts at a generalizable predictive framework. Here, we calculate an Urban Association Index (UAI) for 3768 bird species in 1...
