<strong>The alteration of natural landscapes for human use creates a mosaic of different habitats, varied in how much they have been modified from a natural baseline. These novel landscapes can have reduced habitat availability for native fauna which is the primary cause of global biodiversity decline. Faunal decline is exhibited in the well-studied taxonomic group birds and is most severe on oceanic islands. Evidence suggests that many bird species have traits linked to tolerance of novel la...
