Probably you have this one already, but thought I'd start a collection, when they come across my desk:

Sol et al. 2017, Ecology Letters

This paper just came out, that might be pertinent, although we don't look at functional groups, per se.

another one what makes an urban bird? from Gaston group

Paper on urbanization and seasonality in Nepal

Seasonality is something that we don't discuss/touch on and I think there is scope for us not to include it. If this was being conducted in say the US, you'd have to touch on seasonality. As in birds would be more urban in different times of the year. A small thread to probably touch on in the discussion.

urban birds have broader environmental tolerance

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

Currently, it looks like niche breadth is consistently coming out as a really important story (i.e., all the 'generalisms' are seemingly important and mostly significant). So, disentangling niche breadth and range size will be important, potentially.

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

A bit of a peripheral paper, but might show some breadth to cite this one

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

This looks like it will be good discussion material - especially in discussing scaling things up for future studies, etc.

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

Here is an editorial which apparently was dedicated to behavioral and ecological consequences of urban birds. I'm sure there are some good papers in here to look through.

Another important paper about phylogenetic and functional diversity of breeding birds in urban areas.

wcornwell commented 6 years ago

lower phylogenetic diversity is consistent with our finding of (weak) phylogenetic signal in urbanness.

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

I might want to include this recent paper about boldness in birds in the discussion.

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

A really nice paper providing some foundation for theory of specialists versus generalists

wcornwell commented 6 years ago

useful maybe for future projects: http://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ghs_pop.php

coreytcallaghan commented 6 years ago

Looks useful!

I skimmed that paper yesterday. Pretty interesting, and was gonna add it as a citation likely. But, in all honesty I question a few things in that paper. Although, they did go down the discrete groupings route. See Figure 1.

Could easily scale that applied aspect up, I would imagine, based on some of our stuff.
