Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 781-792, February 2021., 2021 We live in a rapidly urbanizing world. Today, more than half of the human race lives in cities, and this number is set to continue to increase, as people migrate to urban areas in search of higher standards of living. Careful planning is required to ensure that detrimental impacts of urban development on the environment and human health are identified ...

Linking Dynamic Habitat Selection with Wading Bird Foraging Distributions across Resource Gradients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Species distribution models (SDM) link species occurrence with a suite of environmental predictors and provide an estimate of habitat quality when the variable set captures the biological requirements of the species. SDMs are inherently more complex when

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 As humans continue to infringe on natural habitats, more animals are exposed to urbanization and its associated challenges. It is still unclear, however, whether the movement of animals into urban habitats negatively influences the health and/or survival

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2017 1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.

Residual influence of macronutrient enrichment on the aquatic food web of an Okefenokee Swamp abandoned bird rookery [PDF]
, 1989 We present evidence for residual nutrient enrichment of diverse components of a blackwater marsh, by a biotic component of the ecosystem itself. Thousands of nesting white ibis (Eudocimus albus) that foraged over a 20-km radius fertilized a rookery with ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 15, Page 8416-8428, August 2020., 2020 White ibises are increasingly found foraging in urban environments, and previous work has shown that ibises in urban environments have elevated bactericidal capacities and depressed stress responses. We tested whether intake of an anthropogenic diet may explain those differences.

Movement‐mediated community assembly and coexistence
Biological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 1073-1096, August 2020., 2020 ABSTRACT Organismal movement is ubiquitous and facilitates important ecological mechanisms that drive community and metacommunity composition and hence biodiversity. In most existing ecological theories and models in biodiversity research, movement is represented simplistically, ignoring the behavioural basis of movement and consequently the variation ...
