私人花园为人们与自然互动提供了重要的机会。最流行的互动形式是通过花园鸟类喂养。了解景观特征和季节如何决定饲料使用鸣禽的运动模式是最大限度地提高它们提供的福利的关键。为了确定这些模式，我们建立了三个网络的自动数据记录器沿着梯度的绿地碎片。在12个月的时间里，我们追踪了452只带标签的蓝山雀Cyantistes caeruleus和大山雀Parus major在喂食器对之间移动了9，848次，以解决两个问题：（i）不同形式和季节的城市特征是否影响结构（鸟类之间的连接存在与否）和功能（这些连接的频率）连接？(ii)是否存在跨表单的结构和功能连接的一般模式？植被覆盖增加了所有三个网络的连通性，而道路缺口的存在对功能而不是结构连通性产生了负面影响。整个网络的结构连接是最低的，在夏季时，鸟类保持繁殖领土，但功能连接的模式出现不同的栖息地碎片化。使用经验数据，本研究显示了关键的城市功能和季节的影响饲料使用鸣禽的运动，我们提供的证据表明，这是与绿地破碎化。
Private gardens provide vital opportunities for people to interact with nature. The most popular form of interaction is through garden bird feeding. Understanding how landscape features and seasons determine patterns of movement of feeder-using songbirds is key to maximising the well-being benefits they provide. To determine these patterns we established three networks of automated data loggers along a gradient of greenspace fragmentation. Over a 12-month period we tracked 452 tagged blue tits Cyantistes caeruleus and great tits Parus major moving between feeder pairs 9,848 times, to address two questions: (i) Do urban features within different forms, and season, influence structural (presence-absence of connections between feeders by birds) and functional (frequency of these connections) connectivity? (ii) Are there general patterns of structural and functional connectivity across forms? Vegetation cover increased connectivity in all three networks, whereas the presence of road gaps negatively affected functional but not structural connectivity. Across networks structural connectivity was lowest in the summer when birds maintain breeding territories, however patterns of functional connectivity appeared to vary with habitat fragmentation. Using empirical data this study shows how key urban features and season influence movement of feeder-using songbirds, and we provide evidence that this is related to greenspace fragmentation.
