Journal ArticleDOI

Generalists are the most urban-tolerant of birds: a phylogenetically controlled analysis of ecological and life history traits using a novel continuous measure of bird responses to urbanization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology that evaluated the ecological and life history traits which most influence a species' adaptability to persist in urban environments and assigned species-specific scores based on continuous measures of response to urbanization, using VIIRS night-time light values (i.e. radiance) as a proxy for urbanization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous urban green areas are bird diversity hotspots: insights using continental-scale citizen science data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impacts of urbanization on bird diversity, stratified to native and exotic species, and found a non-linear response to urbanization for both species richness and Shannon diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extreme mobility of the world's largest flying mammals creates key challenges for management and conservation.

TL;DR: The Australia-wide movements of 201 satellite-tracked individuals are analyzed, providing unprecedented detail on the inter-roost movements of three flying-fox species: Pteropus alecto, P. poliocephalus, and P. scapulatus across jurisdictions over up to 5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pest status of Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) in urban situations and the effectiveness of egg-oil in reproductive control

TL;DR: Results indicate that applying canola oil to ibis eggs once, at any time, during the 23-day incubation period is sufficient to prevent ibi eggs from hatching, which should reduce the amount of time required to conduct ibis management, consequently reducing the cost to land managers.
