The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity (2011, unknown): “Species whose natural distribution areas lie further south can selectively move the borders of their native environment further north (Luniak 2004; Kowarik and Säumel 2007).”
The kestrel (Falco tinnunculus L.) in Berlin: investigation of breeding biology and feeding ecology (2005, background): “It might be interpreted as increasing urbanisation or, to use a more precise term, as increasing synurbisation (for the exact definition of this term, see Luniak 2004).”
Nest Composition Adjustments by Chinese Bulbuls Pycnonotus sinensis in an Urbanized Landscape of Hangzhou (E China) (2009, background): “Like the Chinese Bulbul, more and more bird and mammal species worldwide are adapting to urban environments (Luniak 2004), and such adaptation often occurs with a shift in behavioral characteristics (Ditchkoff et al.”
Changes in home range sizes and population densities of carnivore species along the natural to urban habitat gradient (2014, background): “Consequently, as urbanization proliferates, animals are able to adapt to urban conditions in different ways (Luniak 2004).”
Impact of predation by domestic cats Felis catus in an urban area (2005, result): “The relatively small number of prey species taken during this study is consistent with the reduction in species’ diversity typically observed in urban areas, where communities tend to consist of a small number of synanthropic species tolerant of human activities, but which may be very abundant (Luni”
Urbanisation and Its Effects on Bats—A Global Meta-Analysis (2016, background): “In contrast, only a few mammals have been documented as successful species in urban areas (Macdonald and Newdick 1982; Septon et al. 1995; Luniak 2004).”
Where forest meets urbanization: foraging plasticity of aerial insectivorous bats in an anthropogenically altered environment (2010, background): “Few opportunistic animals possess the high degree of ecological and behavioral plasticity (Luniak 2004) necessary to exploit urban habitats (e.g., Longcore and Rich 2004; K. Jung and E. K. V. Kalko, pers. obs.).”
A Red List of Italian Saproxylic Beetles: taxonomic overview, ecological features and conservation issues (Coleoptera) (2015, background): “The largest species (e.g. Lucaninae, Cerambycinae, Lamiinae, Cetoniinae) (Figs 2, 10-12) are also threatened by the increasing predation rate by invasive birds, such as crows (Corvidae) and starlings (Sturnidae), whose demographic trend is rising, chiefly in anthropogenic environments (Luniak 2004).”
