Selection and Adaptation to Urban Food Resources Promote Spotted Dove (<i>Streptopelia chinensis</i>) as a Common Species in Urban Habitats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe manuscript described the dietary composition and variation of a common species—spotted dove in urban habitats, and discussed the constraint of urban food resources for it and provided recommendations for urban greening. ABSTRACT Rapid urban development has almost completely reshaped the original landscape.
