Researchers identify the traits shaping urban birdlife
Original: The traits shaping urban birdlife
Researchers at Queen's University are examining which biological traits allow certain bird species to thrive in cities while others disappear. Adaptations such as flexible diets, larger brains and tolerance for noise and human disturbance are seen as key to surviving urban environments. The findings are drawing attention from ecologists and city planners interested in protecting biodiversity as urban areas expand.
Why now: New research on how birds adapt to city life is attracting interest amid growing concern over urban biodiversity loss.
