Cover; Contents; Contributors; Introduction; PART 1 The Urban Environment; 1 The challenges of urban living; 2 The impact of artificial light on avian ecology; 3 Wild bird feeding (probably) affects avian urban ecology; PART 2 Behaviour and Physiology; 4 Attention, habituation, and antipredator behaviour: implications for urban birds; 5 Behavioural and ecological predictors of urbanization; 6 Acoustic communication in the urban environment: patterns, mechanisms, and potential consequences of avian song adjustments; 7 The impact of anthropogenic noise on avian communication and fitness
