• Impact of Urbanization on Birds (2018, background): “In Barcelona (Spain), the urban individuals show strong genetic divergence from those in the surrounding forest habitats (Björklund et al. 2010), whereas in Montpellier (France), there was a low yet significant genetic differentiation from individuals in the more rural sites (Perrier et al. 2017).”
• Escape behaviour of birds provides evidence of predation being involved in urbanization (2012, background): “Given genetic differentiation between rural and urban habitats or among urban areas (Rutkowski et al. 2005; Baratti et al. 2009; Evans et al. 2009; Björklund et al. 2010), this implies a reduction in dispersal distance and a lack of interbreeding between individuals from rural and urban habitats.”
