The seminar will present our work on how urbanisation and impacts, such as invasive species are shaping biodiversity, with focus on birds in Europe, the Mediterranean and Australia. We will discuss spatial patterns and processes and novel approaches for conservation in urban and natural ecosystems, including night lights, airspace conservation and others.
