Island biogeography for an urbanizing world: how extinction and colonization may determine biological diversity in human-dominated landscapes (2005, background): “Synanthropic birds (n = 9) were those dependent on human settlement (Johnston, 2001).”
Effects of drought on avian community structure (2009, methodology): “For each suitable route-year between 1989 and 2005, we tabulated counts of individual birds for (a) the overall avian community, (b) three migratory guilds (Rappole, 1995), and (c) one guild composed of full and partial synanthropic birds (Johnston, 2001) (Table 1).”
Predation rate on artificial nests increases with human housing density in suburban habitats (2003, unknown): “species (Johnston 2001).”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, unknown): “Johnston RF. 2001.”
Exploring the ecology of suburban wildlife (2003, background): “Several raptor species and many types of songbird take advantage of suburbanized environments, which provide nest sites and plenty of food (Boal and Mannan 1998; Johnston 2001).”
Adaptability and vulnerability of high flying Neotropical aerial insectivorous bats to urbanization (2011, background): “Avian urban exploiters are often species evolutionarily adapted to rocky areas, which permits increased population sizes in urbanized areas (McKinney, 2002; Johnston, 2001).”
Relative importance of habitat quantity, structure, and spatial pattern to birds in urbanizing environments (2006, background): “Urbanization alters the composition of bird communities by increasing the fitness of synanthropic species (associated with humans; Johnston, 2001) and decreasing the fitness of species associated with native habitat.”
