Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.
