Ongoing global change makes it ever more urgent to find creative solutions for biodiversity preservation, but prioritizing sites for protection can be challenging. One shortcut lies in mapping the habitat requirements of well-established biodiversity indicators, such as top predators, to identify high-biodiversity sites. Here, we planned site prote...
Preserving biodiversity in urban ecosystems has become an urgent conservation priority, given the rapid upsurge in global urbanization. As woody plants play essential ecological roles and provide psychological benefits to human city dwellers, their preservation is of particular interest to conservation scientists. However, considering that extensiv...
Land cover change accompanying large-scale and rapid urbanization has caused major losses to biodiversity, with urban planning that incorporates biodiversity conservation being urgently needed. Understanding how land cover impacts the distribution and dynamics of breeding sites of biodiversity indicator species could facilitate the creation of long...
Successful raptor reproduction requires both a nesting and foraging habitat (Newton 1979). A good nesting habitat reduces the risk of predation (Mainwaring et al. 2014, Anderson et al. 2015), and creates a suitable microclimate for breeding (Robertson 2009). The foraging environment is important for satisfying both parent and nestling food requirem...

... The goshawk is an opportunistic predator that hunts numerous avian and mammalian species on a case-by-case basis (Kenward, 2006), depending on the abundance of various prey species for its persistence. The species has been demonstrated to act as a reliable biodiversity indicator in a variety of environments and macroregions, from natural (Burgas et al., 2014;Sergio et al., 2005) to urban (Natsukawa, 2020;Natsukawa, 2021;Natsukawa et al., 2021), and is therefore an excellent model species for this study. ...

... Unlike the previous rater's differences (Berland and Lange, 2017), this method's precision is the same with different measured persons. Evaluating urban forests at the city level requires further exploration, and most of these studies have focused on Asian (Chai et al., 2004;Chen et al., 2019;Natsukawa et al., 2020), European (Kabisch et al., 2016;Salvati et al., 2017;Ulus et al., 2021), and American cities (Lin et al., 2021;Nowak et al., 2013;Targino et al., 2019). Urban tree mapping has sharply developed based on high-resolution satellite imagery-related remote sensing and geographic analysis. ...
... Conversely, C. triangularis may thrive in areas with closed canopy coverage, utilizing the canopy as a resource due to its diurnal behavior. Canopy coverage can have several potential effects on shelter, temperature regulation, and resource utilization by different species (Chen et al., 1999;Natsukawa et al., 2019;). Canopy coverage provides protection against direct sunlight, which is crucial for diurnal species sensitive to dehydration and excessive heat (Gotcha et al., 2020). ...
