Cities are usually developed in a gradient between land-sharing (low density housing with small and fragmented green areas) and land-sparing areas (high density housing with large and non-fragmented green patches) depending on the spatial organization of urban attributes. Previous studies have indicated differences in biodiversity between these two urban development types, but mechanisms underlying these differences are inadequately understood. In this context, the landscape features of each urban development type may select for organisms with specific traits. To analyze it, we quantified birds in 9 European cities during the breeding and wintering season, collected species-specific traits and performed Bayesian comparative analyses. We found that birds living in land-sparing areas had a higher reproductive investment and a higher nesting specialization than birds living in land-sharing areas during the breeding season. Typical birds from land-sparing urban areas during winter are fast-lived species. Our results indicate that urban development type could have an important role selecting animal traits and provides useful information on how to build more biodiversity-friendly cities.engjournal article1879-1026https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167937https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969723065646restricted access574598.2/.9911.375504.064591.5Ecología (Biología)ZoologíaAvesGeografía físicaGeografía humana2401.06 Ecología Animal2410.05 Ecología Humana2401.20 Ornitología5403 Geografía Humana2505.07 Geografía Física
