Abstract
⺠We investigated escape behaviour of urban and rural birds. ⺠Urban birds tried to escape less actively and gave more alarm calls than rural birds. ⺠These differences were related to susceptibility to predation by sparrowhawks. ⺠The degree of divergence was related to time since urbanization. ⺠Predation is an important selection force driving adaptation to urban habitats.
