“…In other words, in some towns, such as Puerto Baquizo Moreno on San Cristobal and Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz, FID has been reduced to levels below what was observed on islands with no history of invasive predators. Such reductions in FID in urban finches are likely due initially to habituation (Blumstein, Fernandez‐Juricic, Zollner, & Garity, ; Cavalli, Baladrón, Isacch, Biondi, & Bó, ; Møller, ; Samia, Nakagawa, Nomura, Rangel, & Blumstein, ) which can lead to lower FID being an evolved adaptation (van Dongen, Robinson, Weston, Mulder, & Guay, ) This suggests pressures from urbanization on antipredator behaviour can be so strong that it results in FID lower than the baseline FID quantified on pristine islands, counteracting any increase in FID due to the presence of invasive predators. For both this and the previous point, more research needs to be conducted on more systems with towns of varying sizes given the relatively small number of islands and populations in this study.…”
