Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural adjustments for a life in the city
TL;DR: It is presented both theoretical and empirical arguments to show that behavioural adjustments to urban habitats are widespread and that they may potentially be important in facilitating resource use, avoiding disturbances and enhancing communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urbanisation tolerance and the loss of avian diversity.
TL;DR: It is shown that although random processes account for part of the species loss associated with urbanisation, much of the loss is associated with a lack of appropriate adaptations of most species for exploiting resources and avoiding risks of the urban environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urbanisation and the loss of phylogenetic diversity in birds
TL;DR: It is shown that highly urbanised environments supported on average 450 million fewer years of evolutionary history than the surrounding natural environments, implying a disproportionate loss of evolutionaryhistory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-brained mammals live longer.
TL;DR: Using a global database of 493 species, this work provides evidence showing that mammals with enlarged brains (relative to their body size) live longer and have a longer reproductive lifespan, providing support for the hypothesis that mammals counterbalance the costs of affording large brains with a longer sexual lifespan.

TL;DR: Global data on bird communities with comprehensive information on traits associated with ecological processes is integrated to show that assemblages in highly urbanised environments have substantially different functional composition and 20% less functional diversity on average than surrounding natural habitats.
