Avian species richness and tropical urbanization gradients: Effects of woodland retention and human disturbance

Abstract: Urbanization is a major driver of tropical biodiversity loss. In temperate regions avian species richness-urbanization intensity relationships typically exhibit unimodal patterns, with peak richness at intermediate urbanization levels. In tropical regions, the form of such relationships and the extent to which they are moderated by patches of seminatural habitat are unclear. We address these questions in Bangkok, Thailand (one of the largest and most rapidly expanding tropical mega-cities) and generate conserv… Show more

“…Human disturbances are critical factors influencing population distributions and species diversity [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Nature reserves and national parks have been established in the mountainous areas of northeastern China in recent years, which have largely relieved the destruction of forest habitats by human activity.…”

One particular biome at great risk of conversion is grasslands, which would result in a substantial loss of biodiversity (Newbold et al 2016, Roberts et al 2022, Wilcox et al 2022.…”
