Validation of a globally-applicable method to measure urban tolerance of birds using citizen science data
Original language description
Understanding species specific responses to urbanization is essential to mitigate and preserve biodiversity in the face of increasing urbanization, but a major challenge is how to estimate urban tolerances for a wide array of species applicable over disparate regions. A promising approach is to assess urban tolerance by integrating geo-referenced information on species detections from citizen science data with estimations of urbanization intensity based on remotely sensed night-time lights. While such citizen science urbanness scores (CSUS) are cost effective, intuitive, and easily repeatable anywhere in the world, whether the scores accurately describe urban tolerance still awaits empirical verification. By analysing more than 900 bird species worldwide, we find that CSUS correlates well with a standard measure of urban tolerance based on changes in abundance between urbanized and non-urbanized nearby habitats. Our analyses show that there is substantial variability in the relationship between these
