Abstract:

Urban biodiversities have been seriously destroyed along with the acceleration of urbanization processes. Therefore, ornithologists and people working on urban nature protection areas have begun to pay more and more attentions to studies on urban bird diversities, which are the important components of urban diversities and one of the important indexes of urban environment qualities. The present paper introduced mainly the research methods and results of the influences of urbanization on bird communities and the relationship between the habitat structures and the community structures of urban birds. Based on reviews of the research methods and results of both in China and the other part of the world, the present paper also made prospects for further urban bird researches.
