Predicting the impacts of urbanization on riparian bird communities
TLDR
In this paper, birds were surveyed in riparian woodlands along a gradient of urbanization in the Santa Clara Valley, CA, USA, in order to determine the relationships between riparian bird communities and urbanization.About:

Avian ecology and conservation in an urbanizing world
TL;DR: The field of birds in urban environments has been a hot topic in the last few decades as discussed by the authors, with a large body of work focusing on the effects of urbanization on birds.

Worldwide urbanization and its effects on birds
TL;DR: The most consistent effects of increasing settlement were increases in non-native species of birds, increases in birds able to nest on buildings (esp. swifts and swallows), increases in nest predation, and decreases in interior-and ground-nesting species as mentioned in this paper.

Restoration of Fragmented Landscapes for the Conservation of Birds: A General Framework and Specific Recommendations for Urbanizing Landscapes
John M. Marzluff,Kern Ewing +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of urbanization on birds inhabiting nearby native habitats, suggest how restoration ecologists can minimize these effects, and discuss future research needs, emphasizing the importance of individual fitness to determining community composition.

Urban Bird Diversity and Landscape Complexity: Species- environment Associations Along a Multiscale Habitat Gradient
TL;DR: Both local- and landscape-scale resources were important in determining the distribution of birds in urban areas and should be integrated into urban planning and development designs to maintain resident avifauna and overall species diversity in urban environments.

Avifauna homogenisation by urbanisation: Analysis at different European latitudes
Philippe Clergeau,Solene Croci,Jukka Jokimäki,Marja-Liisa Kaisanlahti-Jokimäki,Marco Dinetti +4 more
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.

The Role of Riparian Corridors in Maintaining Regional Biodiversity
TL;DR: It is argued that riparian corridors should play an essential role in water and landscape planning, in the restoration of aquatic systems, and in catalyzing institutional and societal cooperation for these efforts.

Land Use and Avian Species Diversity Along an Urban Gradient
Robert B. Blair,Robert B. Blair +1 more
TL;DR: This article examined the distribution and abundance of bird species across an urban gradient, and concomitant changes in community structure, by censusing summer resident bird populations at six sites in Santa Clara County, California (all former oak woodlands).
of the INTERIOR
TL;DR: A case study of the use of Landsat data in the Bureau of Land complex digital image processing of digital tapes is presented in this paper. But the case study is limited to a single application.

A Variable Circular-Plot Method for Estimating Bird Numbers
TL;DR: In this article, a variable strip transect count is used to estimate the number of birds seen or heard around a station, and estimates the horizontal distance from the station to each bird.
