Comparing four indices of physiological stress in an urban-adapted songbird between urban and rural habitats
… that make an urban-adapted species, the European starling (<em>Sturnus vulgaris</em>), so successful in both rural and urban areas. Literature on stress-urbanization relationship remains highly equivocal partly due to an array of different study systems being compared as well as to key …

The city blues of an iridescent canary: physiological, behavioral, and developmental impacts of lead (Pb) on songbirds along an urban-to-rural gradient
… this study, we used a common urban adapter, the European starling (<em>Sturnus vulgaris</em>), to explore how lead exposure is correlated with behavior, physiology, and feather development along a gradient of urbanization. We captured 125 free-living starlings to measure feather lead …
