“…The composition of the bird communities living within these habitats varies along this urban gradient (Beissinger and Osborne 1982;Catterall et al 1989;Blair 1996;Savard et al 2000) with highly urbanised habitats often supporting exotic birds that have a long history of human cohabitation (Case 1996). Some native birds also exploit urban habitats, becoming more prevalent than in their natural habitats (Parsons et al 2003). Studies from Europe (Huhtalo and Jarvinen 1977;Fernández-Juricic 2000;Fernández-Juricic and Jokimäki 2001;Palomino and Carrascal 2006), North America (Emlen 1974;Guthrie 1974;Walcott 1974;Beissinger and Osborne 1982;Rosenberg et al 1987;Green and Baker 2002) and Australia (Jones 1983;Green 1984Green , 1986Catterall et al 1989Catterall et al , 1991Munyenyembe et al 1989;Parsons et al 2003) have shown that as vegetation becomes more prevalent in urban areas, the ability to support a wider range of native species also increases, although the bird assemblages remain distinct from those historically present before human development.…”

“…In natural forests, a variety of different plants of different ages creates complex structural layers, in contrast to the urban park and garden design of open lawn space and tall trees, which is reminiscent of some natural grassy woodland habitats (Jokimäki and Huhta 2000). In Australia, urban habitats that replicate grassy woodland are dominated by larger, more aggressive avian species (Catterall 2004;Parsons et al 2006). The limited availability of habitat suitable for smaller, coverdependant species such as those that traditionally occupy shrubby woodlands, heaths and forests is thought to be at least partly responsible for the decline of small birds in urban Australia Munyenyembe et al 1989;Bass 1995;Sewell and Catterall 1998).…”

“…Increasingly, the importance of different habitat states in understanding a species' 73 sensitivity to urbanisation is being recognised (e.g. Catterall et al 1998;Garden et al 2006; 74 Hodgson et al 2006;Parsons et al 2003;White et al 2005). In this context, the overall 75 objective of our study was to determine how the bird fauna of the Perth region has 76 responded to the highly modified landscapes on the Swan Coastal Plain.…”
