• Resolving the urban nest predator paradox: The role of alternative foods for nest predators (2011, background): “Clearly, urban areas can be a refuge from nest predation for some species in some years, but, overall, my data add to the growing consensus that urban areas are not always safe from nest predators (e.g., Jokimaki and Huhta, 2000; Thorington and Bowman, 2003; Melampy et al., 1999; Haskell et al., 200”
• Credit or debit? Resource input changes population dynamics of city‐slicker birds (2004, background): “Some concluded that nest predation increased in cities (Jokimaki and Huhta 2000, Thorington and Bowman 2003), while others found no differences (Matthews et al. 1999) or even a decrease in nest predation (Gering and Blair 1999).”
• Invasion, Competition, and Biodiversity Loss in Urban Ecosystems (2010, result): “Experiments with artificial nests also support higher predation rates in urban settings (Jokimäki and Huhta 2000, Thorington and Bowman 2003), although others have obtained opposite results (Gering and Blair 1999).”
• The Effects of Urban Sprawl on Birds at Multiple Levels of Biological Organization (2004, background): “It would be worthwhile to dissect the differences of single land-use types to discover why some variations are better at conserving native species than others (Thorington and Bowman 2003).”
• Urban bird declines and the fear of cats (2007, background): “The widespread and on-going decline of rural and urban bird populations is a critical conservation issue (Gering & Blair, 1999; Marzluff, Bowman & Dennelly, 2001; McKinney, 2002; Crick et al., 2003; Thorington & Bowman, 2003; DEFRA, 2004b; Baker et al., 2005; Pauchard et al., 2006).”
