Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9
