Abstract: The effects of streets on biodiversity is an important aspect of urban ecology, but it has been neglected worldwide. Several vegetation attributes (e.g. street tree density and diversity) have important effects on biodiversity and ecological processes. In this study, we evaluated the influences of urban vegetation—represented by characteristics of street trees (canopy size, proportion of native tree species and tree species richness)—and characteristics of the landscape (distance to parks and vegetation quanti… Show more

“…Overall, urbanization represents a drastic land use change, converting natural habitats into impervious surface and thereby reducing the amount of resources (Chace and Walsh, 2006). In Brazil, exposure to noise was the main variable responsible for variation in bird functional diversity in Belo Horizonte (Pena et al, 2017) and bird richness was affected by noise level and distance to water in São Paulo (Barbosa et al, 2020). As only a few species can cope with these novel habitats, the functional diversity will decrease (Schütz and Schulze, 2015;Concepción et al, 2017).…”

“…We selected functional traits that represented phenotypic characteristics and may be affected by urbanization and functional traits that can influence ecosystem services in cities (effect traits), such as feeding habits (Petchey and Gaston, 2006;Luck et al, 2012;Pena et al, 2017). These functional traits included five categorical (diet, habitat, nesting substrate, mating system and flock behavior) and one continuous variable (body size) and were obtained from Sick (1997) and were complemented by del Hoyo et al ( 2004) and Wilman et al (2014) (Table 1 and Supplementary Table 1).…”

“…Hoy en día pueden observarse algunos efectos adversos de la urbanización caótica y descontrolada en sectores de la población menos favorecidos: pobre calidad de vivienda, sistemas sanitarios deplorables, problemas de hacinamiento, escasez de áreas verdes urbanas y desde el punto de vista social un incremento en la criminalidad, delincuencia juvenil, violencia, explotación sexual, suicidios, depresión e incremento en el número de divorcios (Funmilayo, 2012;Gold, 2002;Helbich, et al, 2017;Marques, & Lima, 2011;Nor, Corstanje, Harris, & Brewer, 2017), sin olvidar también su impacto en la biodiversidad, el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas urbanos (Pena et al, 2017). Partiendo de una perspectiva de sustentabilidad, la psicología ambiental y disciplinas asociadas tendrán en común el desarrollo de una agenda compartida para la atención y entendimiento de dichos problemas y la promoción de aspectos positivos de las ciudades asociados a una mejor calidad de vida (Kirst, Schaefer, Hwang, & O'Campo, 2011).…”

“…Além disso, também deve ser priorizado o uso de espécies nativas (POTENZA, 2016). As árvores nativas favorecem o ecossistema regional, oferecendo abundância e diversidade de alimento à fauna local, e também, melhoram os aspectos funcionais das comunidades (PENA et al, 2017). Por outro lado, entende-se que espécies exóticas invasoras podem afetar o ecossistema, devido a rusticidade, facilidade de desenvolvimento e propagação, provocando desequilíbrio dos processos ecológicos, ocupando os espaços de outras espécies, podendo até mesmo levar a extinção de espécies nativas (VIGNOLIA JUNIOR, 2016).…”
