During the past decade, the study of birds in urban systems has come to the forefront of ornithology. As a result, urban bird research is widespread and covers numerous topics, from population ecology through citizen science. Because of such growth and diversity, there was a great need to collect and synthesize a number of the concurrent streams of research on urban birds. This volume comprises twenty chapters from leaders in urban bird ecology and conservation that address classic questions, propose new directions, and fill in critical gaps in our knowledge.
