• Urbanization and the Predation Paradox: The Role of Trophic Dynamics in Structuring Vertebrate Communities (2012, background): “These distances are generally shorter in more urban areas for songbirds and squirrels (e.g., McCleery 2009, Møller 2009; but cf. Valcarcel and Fernández-Juricic 2009), which again suggests that the perception of predation risk is lower in more urbanized settings.”
• Birds in Urban Ecosystems: Population Dynamics, Community Structure, Biodiversity, and Conservation (2015, background): “Valcarcel and Fernández-Juricic (2009) found that house finches in more urbanized areas formed larger flocks, had less tolerance to human approaches, and increased their pecking rates to compensate for the lower amount of foraging time than those in less urbanized areas in Southern California.”
• Decreased vigilance or habituation to humans? Mechanisms on increased boldness in urban animals (2019, unknown): “2013; but see Valcarcel and Fernández-Juricic 2009).”
