TL;DR: In this article, the homogenisation effects of urbanisation on avifauna in towns of three countries selected along a latitudinal gradient: Italy, France and Finland were studied. And the results suggested that urbanisation might cause homogenization by decreasing the abundance of ground nesting bird species and bird species preferring bush-shrub habitats.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the quantitative similarity of winter bird communities between town centres, apartment block areas and single-family house areas across regional and local scales in five towns in northern Finland.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the risk of artificial ground nest predation across an urban gradient at regional (100� /100 km) and local scales (5� /5 km, within town) in Finland, Italy, and Spain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate macro-ecological patterns of bird assemblages in urbanized areas relative to semi-natural ecosystems and support the need for increased conservation activities in urbanised landscapes, particularly given the additional benefits of local experiences of biodiversity for the human population.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied differences in suburban bird assemblages in France and Finland and found that the average number of species was higher in France than in Finland, both in single-family house areas and in apartment block areas.
