A meta-analysis indicates reduced predation pressure with increasing urbanization
Abstract
Abstract Urbanization is one of the most important global trends which causes habitat reduction and alteration which are, in turn, the main reasons for the reduced structural and functional diversity in urbanized environments. Predation is one of the most important ecological functions because of its community-structuring effects. According to previous studies effects of urbanization on predation rates appear inconsistent. Predator species are vulnerable to habitat alteration and loss caused by urbanization, therefore, we hypothesised that predation rate would decrease along the rural-urban gradient. To clarify the impact of urbanization on predation, we performed a meta-analysis on predation rates in rural vs. urban areas using published data of 25 studies. Predation rates on taxa other than birds were underrepresented, preventing an overall evaluation. Reported predation rates on birds were significantly higher in rural than in urban habitats.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
