Why this matters — One Health

The number of insectivorous bird species between areas differing in degree of urbanisation, and across habitat changes evaluated in long-term monitoring, will elucidate about the resilience of the ecosystem regarding pest control (disease vector mosquitoes, plant pests, etc), and the quality of cultural services that contribute to human well-being.
