Urbanization Is Associated with Divergence in Pace-of-Life in Great Tits (2017, background): “In fact it has been suggested that urbanization should favor individuals with high behavioral plasticity (Lowry et al., 2013).”
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) in urban ecosystems: A review (2016, background): “Urban adapters and exploiters among invertebrates would be predicted to exhibit syndromes involving multiple behavioural responses such as increased boldness, that is, being willing to take more risks (Lowry et al., 2013) like those exhibited by vertebrates (e.g. song sparrows, Evans et al., 2010).”
Risk-taking behavior, urbanization and the pace of life in birds (2018, background): “…has for instance documented that animals living in urban environments differ in behaviors related to resource use, disturbance avoidance, and communication from those inhabiting little urbanized environments (reviewed in Shochat et al. 2006; Evans et al. 2012; Lowry et al. 2013; Sol et al. 2013).”
Decreased vigilance or habituation to humans? Mechanisms on increased boldness in urban animals (2019, background): “Increased boldness is one of the most widely reported behavioral shifts in many urban animal species (Møller 2008, 2012; Tuomainen and Candolin 2011; Lowry et al. 2013; Díaz et al. 2013).”
Individual flexibility in nocturnal activity reduces risk of road mortality for an urban carnivore (2015, background): “Urban adapters include several species of carnivores (reviewed by Bateman and Fleming 2012) that are typically generalists with high behavioral flexibility (McKinney 2002; Lowry et al. 2013).”
Adaptation and Adaptedness of Organisms to Urban Environments (2015, background): “…specific topics regarding the adaptation of animals to urban environments that include the following: behavioral responses (Garroway & Sheldon 2013, Lowry et al. 2013, Sol et al. 2013, Tuomainen & Candolin 2011), endocrine system responses (Bonier 2012, Bonier et al. 2006), hormonal responses…”
Behavior Change in Urban Mammals: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “Urban areas present unique and dynamic challenges for resident wildlife (Lowry et al., 2013; Miranda et al., 2013; Alberti, 2015; Birnie-Gauvin et al., 2016).”
