“…This agrees with the vast majority of previous studies of this type, which found significant habitat filtering in response to urbanization. The pattern of increased prevalence of omnivores and granivores, with decreased prevalence of insectivores in Fresno and Tucson also matches a general consensus reached by prior research (Lim and Sodhi, 2004;Kark et al, 2007;Croci et al, 2008;Conole and Kirkpatrick, 2011;Lizée et al, 2011;Leveau, 2013;Cristaldi et al, 2017). Increases in prevalence of omnivores (e.g., American Crow) are likely due to these species' habits of scavenging human (Kark et al, 2007).…”

“…We also found that the top three frugivore birds were medium-and large-size omnivorous generalist birds (Table 2), consistent with some studies in disturbed habitats [11,14,73] and some studies on bird composition in urban ecosystems [74,75], they occupy a dominant position in both urban plant-frugivore networks and urban bird communities. They have a wider feeding niche and eat more plant fruits [11].…”

“…With regard to vegetation cover within green spaces, the models selected for both resident and wintering birds did not support its contribution to the functional composition of the communities. This was an unexpected result given the existing evidence of vegetation cover as a determinant of several dimensions of bird diversity (Cristaldi et al., 2017; Harvey et al., 2006). We suggest that further research is needed to investigate the relative contribution of vegetation cover, especially shrub and tree cover to bird trait composition within the Neotropical realm, especially in tropical deciduous forests.…”
