• Nest Composition Adjustments by Chinese Bulbuls Pycnonotus sinensis in an Urbanized Landscape of Hangzhou (E China) (2009, background): “…except for a few wellstudied species including crows (Marzluff et al. 2001b, Vuorisalo et al. 2003, Withey & Marzluff 2005), blackbirds (Partecke et al. 2004, 2007, Geue & Partecke 2009), magpies (Jerzak 2001, Wang et al. 2008) and starlings (Mennechez & Clergeau 2006, Clergeau & Quenot 2007).”
• Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “Supporting this, compared to nestlings of less urbanized habitats, urban ones often reach lower body mass (e.g. European Starling; Mennechez & Clergeau 2001, 2006), Western Gulls Larus occidentalis (Pierotti & Annett 2001), American Crows Corvus brachyrhynchos (Heiss et al. 2009) or Great Tit (HÕrak”
• Behavioural responses of wildlife to urban environments (2013, result): “In contrast to the aforementioned studies, urban European starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, had a low food provisioning rate of nestlings and correspondingly poor nestling success rates in urban areas (Mennechez & Clergeau, 2006).”
• Reproductive success of house sparrows along an urban gradient (2008, background): “Invertebrate availability has previously been proposed as a factor limiting reproductive success of house sparrows, great tits Parus major L., blue tits Parus caeruleus L. and starlings Sturnus vulgaris L. in urban–suburban habitats (Seel, 1970; Cowie & Hinsley, 1987; Mennechez & Clergeau, 2006).”
