Mobbing call experiment suggests the enhancement of forest bird movement by tree cover in urban landscapes across seasons

Local scale movement behavior is an important basis to predict large-scale bird movements in heterogeneous landscapes. Here we conducted playback experiments using mobbing calls to estimate the probability that forest birds would cross a 50-m urban area during three seasons (breeding, dispersal, and...
