Invasion, Competition, and Biodiversity Loss in Urban Ecosystems (2010, background): “In recent years, however, supportive evidence has been gathered for the idea that urban environments are safer for some species than rural habitats and wildlands (Shochat et al. 2006).”
Interspecific variation in fear responses predicts urbanization in birds (2010, background): “Because urban areas generally have fewer predators than rural areas (Klausnitzer 1989; Marzluff et al. 2001; Shochat et al. 2006; Møller 2009), we should expect such urban populations to prosper because they will not pay any costs of predation from having short flight distances, nor costs for…”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, neutral): “Several more recent studies have examined relationships between biodiversity and urbanization (e.g. Turner et al. 2004; Shochat et al. 2006; McKinney 2008).”
The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity (2011, neutral): “(McDonnell et al. 1997; Pickett et al. 1997, 2006; Sukopp and Wittig 1998; Grimm et al. 2000; Alberti 2008; Forys and Allen 2005; Shochat et al. 2006) McDonnell and Hahs (2008) argue that a set of variables should be used to make comparisons possible between various cities, and Andersson et al.…”
Urbanization and the Predation Paradox: The Role of Trophic Dynamics in Structuring Vertebrate Communities (2012, background): “This decoupling underscores a profound difference between urban and natural environments, not only in terms of habitat structure but also in terms of the mechanisms shaping vertebrate communities (Shochat et al. 2006).”
Urbanisation and Its Effects on Bats—A Global Meta-Analysis (2016, background): “Typically this results in altered assemblage structures in urban environments, often with a few highly abundant species, which account for a much higher proportion of the whole community in urban environments than in surrounding wild lands (Shochat et al. 2006).”
Functional traits as indicators of biodiversity response to land use changes across ecosystems and organisms (2010, background): “ Shochat et al. 2006; Sorace and Gustin 2008).”
Boldness underlies foraging success of invasive Lepidodactylus lugubris geckos in the human landscape. (2008, background): “Behavioural mechanisms of displacement may be particularly relevant in urban landscapes where rapid and ongoing habitat modifications favour bold invaders that are accustomed to human presence (Jeschke & Strayer 2006; Shochat et al. 2006).”
The origin of urban communities: From the regional species pool to community assemblages in city (2020, background): “Studying these hierarchical filters simultaneously in cities is new and integrates urban-regional interactions thus providing complementary information about the changes in community assembly processes across scales (Aronson et al., 2016; Shochat et al., 2006).”
Resolving the urban nest predator paradox: The role of alternative foods for nest predators (2011, background): “Urbanization is one of the leading causes of species endangerment in the United States (Czech and Krausman, 1997) and although many native species are extirpated from urban areas, some seemingly adapt well (Blair, 1996; Shochat et al., 2006).”
Urbanization and the ecology of wildlife diseases (2006, background): “More recently, ecologists have begun to explore the mechanisms by which urbanization affects biodiversity, including processes related to resource competition, altered trophic interactions and disease [ 2 ,5].”
