• Demographic and behavioral comparisons of suburban and rural American Crows (2001, background): “"suburban" ( Marzluff et al. 2001 ).”
• Relative importance of habitat quantity, structure, and spatial pattern to birds in urbanizing environments (2006, methodology): “Not surprisingly, urbanization has dramatic effects on bird communities and their constituent populations (Marzluff, 2001; Marzluff et al., 2001b; Chace and Walsh, 2006).”
• Resolving the urban nest predator paradox: The role of alternative foods for nest predators (2011, background): “The strong predator abundance hypothesis relates to the abundance of a few key predators, which are hypothesized to be less abundant in urban areas (Haskell et al., 2001; Marzluff et al., 2001), and assumes species are consistently strong predators across habitats.”
• Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “…hand, contrarily to the predation-relaxation assumption, the overall abundances of certain potential predators like corvids (Jokimäki & Huhta 2000, Marzluff et al. 2001, Marzluff & Neatherlin 2006) or mammalian, omnivorous mesopredators (e.g. raccoons, mustelids; Prange et al. 2003, Herr et al.…”
• Island biogeography for an urbanizing world: how extinction and colonization may determine biological diversity in human-dominated landscapes (2005, background): “I chose 1 km2 as the standard landscape size because it was comparable to the size of typical residential developments and territories of common nest predators like the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos; Marzluff et al., 2001a).”
• Credit or debit? Resource input changes population dynamics of city‐slicker birds (2004, background): “Some argue that corvids are major nest predators in cities (Groom 1993, Major et al. 1996, Matthews et al. 1999), though more recent studies indicate that it is not necessarily the case (Marzluff et al. 2001b).”
