- Which Traits Influence Bird Survival in the City? A Review (2021, background): “Sparrows in the Budapest city center were more than 5% lighter than sparrows at the least urbanized locations, and the leanness of urban birds was detectable, even when they compared differently urbanized habitats with similar utilization [75,77].”
- Urbanization, nestling growth and reproductive success in a moderately declining house sparrow population (2012, background): “Thus, although adult sparrows from more urbanized habitats have smaller body mass (Liker et al. 2008, Bókony et al. 2010, 2012), their reproductive capacity does not seem to be inferior to that of rural sparrows.”
- Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “…body condition of Northern Cardinals, House sparrows (captured in October–Februar) or Song Sparrows (in breeding season) in differently urbanized areas also contradicts the generality of urban birds’ better pre-breeding condition (Rodewald & Shustack 2008, BÓkony et al. 2012, Grunst et al. 2014).”
- Growing in Cities: An Urban Penalty for Wild Birds? A Study of Phenotypic Differences between Urban and Rural Great Tit Chicks (Parus major) (2017, unknown): “Our study highlights the importance of studying multiple populations all over the urbanization gradient in order to better assess the influence of the degree of urbanization on the morphology of wild vertebrates (see Evans et al., 2009; Bókony et al., 2012; Meillère et al., 2017 for some examples).”
