Stable isotopes evaluate exploitation of anthropogenic foods by the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) (2010, background): “…animal species have adapted to human-dominated habitats well and benefit directly or indirectly from human activities for a variety of reasons, including food, shelter, escape from natural predation, or a combination of these factors (Adams et al. 2006; Faeth et al. 2005; Shochat et al. 2004).”
Small scale additions of native plants fail to increase beneficial insect richness in urban gardens (2011, background): “, 2010) and trophic structure in general (Faeth et al., 2005).”
How do habitat variability and management regime shape the spatial heterogeneity of birds within a large Mediterranean urban park (2008, background): “…the prevalence of urban species, n altered balance of species interactions from natural habiats between food supply and predation is also likely (Lim and odhi, 2004; Faeth et al., 2005) so priority should be given o understanding the mechanisms underlying these changes to educe negative impacts.”
Invasion, Competition, and Biodiversity Loss in Urban Ecosystems (2010, background): “Field experiments (Shochat et al. 2004a, Faeth et al. 2005) and modeling exercises (Shochat 2004, Anderies et al. 2007) have emphasized the importance of bottom-up (resource abundance) effects and suggested that species interactions may be important factors shaping urban bird and arthropod Urban…”
Urbanization and Disease Emergence: Dynamics at the Wildlife–Livestock–Human Interface (2017, background): “Evidence suggests that through altered habitat structure and changes to resource availability, urbanization results in significant changes to the structure of wildlife communities, which are subsequently characterized by low biodiversity with proportional increases in abundance of certain generalist”

Songs of the city: noise-dependent spectral plasticity in the acoustic phenotype of urban birds (2013, background): “The associated spread of urban areas around the world causes dramatic habitat alterations and introduces novel environmental conditions for animals within and surrounding new and expanding cities (Vitousek et al. 1997; Marzluff 2001; Faeth et al. 2005; Warren et al. 2006).”
Urbanization and the Predation Paradox: The Role of Trophic Dynamics in Structuring Vertebrate Communities (2012, background): “Snakes are common predators of vertebrates in nonurban landscapes, but species richness and abundance generally decline with urbanization (Patten and Bolger 2003, Faeth et al. 2005).”
Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Urbanization alters natural and historically agricultural landscapes with the development of cities, suburbs and supporting infrastructure (McDonnell and Pickett, 1990; Faeth et al., 2005).”
Urbanization and the ecology of wildlife diseases (2006, background): “However, urbanization can influence shifts in host geographical ranges and densities [9], interspecific interactions [ 5 ] and contamination of the environment with pathogens [10].”
Living in the city: can anyone become an ‘urban exploiter'? (2007, background): “Research on biodiversity in urban landscapes, and especially on urban birds, has shown that the richness of species along a gradient of increasing urbanization tends to decline with increasing urbanization (Marzluff, 2001; Shochat, 2004; Faeth et al., 2005; Clergeau et al., 2006; McKinney, 2006).”
Are urban systems beneficial, detrimental, or indifferent for biological invasion? (2017, background): “Urban environments result in novel ecological dynamics, patterns and processes (Alberti 2015; Faeth et al. 2005; Pickett et al. 2008; Williams et al. 2009), and here we focus specifically on community assembly (Fig.”
