Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible textfocuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process 606 $aBirds$xEcology 606 $aBirds$xEcophysiology 606 $aUrban animals$xEcology 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology)$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aUrbanization$xBehavior 606 $aBirds$xAdaptation 606 $aBirds 606 $aZoology$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aVertebrates$2HILCC 615 0$aBirds$xEcology 615 0$aBirds$xEcophysiology 615 0$aUrban animals$xEcology 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology)$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aUrbanization$xBehavior 615 0$aBirds$xAdaptation 615 0$aBirds 615 7$aZoology 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aVertebrates 676 $a598 700 $aGil$b Diego$01466814 701 $aBrumm$b Henrik$01466815 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787776203321 996 $aAvian Urban Ecology$93677455 997 $aUNINA
