Birds reflect environmental health and urban ornithology reveals how they adapt to human-shaped spaces. Inspired by the Great Backyard Bird Count, this collection highlights key research on backyard birds and urban avian ecology, empowering scientists and bird enthusiasts to observe and protect bird populations.
This collection highlights peer-reviewed studies from BioOne Complete partners, including Acta Ornithologica, Ardeola, Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, Northeastern Naturalist, Ornithological Applications, Ornithology, and more.
