Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.

SPATIAL VARIATION OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND INTENSITY IN URBAN CITIES USING MODIS SATELLITE DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Urban Heat Island (UHI) refers to the occurrence of higher temperatures in urban areas than the neighbouring rural areas. The neighbouring land cover also has some influence on the urban temperatures.

Modelling and monitoring tools to evaluate the Urban Heat Island's contribution to the risk of indoor overheating [PDF]
, 2017 The growth of cit ies increases urban surface areas and anthropogenic heat generation, causing an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. In the UK , UHI effects may cause positive (winter) and negative (summer) health , comfort and energy consumption ...

Heat waves and human well-being in Madrid (Spain) [PDF]
, 2019 Heat waves pose additional risks to urban spaces because of the additional heat provided by urban heat islands (UHIs) as well as poorer air quality.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more

A statistical model for estimating mean maximum urban heat island [PDF]
, 2003 Investigations concentrated on the urban heat island (UHI) in its strongest development during the diurnal cycle. Task includes development of statistical models in the heating and non-heating seasons using urban surface parameters (built-up and water ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Impact of Urban Environmental Indices on Surface Temperature in Dhaka: A Policy‐Oriented Perspective
Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.ABSTRACT Dhaka's rapid urban expansion has intensified surface heating and degraded environmental quality. This study analyzes environmental indices from 2015 to 2025, revealing a strong positive relationship between built‐up growth and land surface temperature, and negative associations with vegetation and water presence.
