Urbanization has been identified as one of the major causes of species endangerment. Albeit important efforts by urban ecologists, there are still understudied regions in the globe with an important bias toward bird studies. Fortunately, studies from biodiversity-rich regions are increasingly growing; yet, with few exceptions, most evidence-based suggested urban conservation, management, and planning strategies have remained in the publications. The aim of this study was to draw them from a ‘dead letter’ by compiling all available publications carried out in Mexican grounds that explicitly suggested strategies and/or actions that could influence bird conservation through urban management and/or planning. We identified three main topics of recommendations: (1) greenspace management and planning, (2) study and control of exotic, invasive, and/or nuisance species, and (3) public policies and conservation strategies and plans. It is clear that the recommendations from the reviewed Mexican urban bird literature provide a compelling guide to start bridging the gap between evidence-based knowledge and the materialization of their suggestions on the path toward creating biodiverse and livable cities. We believe that the transference of urban ecology knowledge relies on the willingness of all implied stakeholders, including scientists, urban citizens, and decision makers.

一封死信？墨西哥城市鸟类文献中的城市保护，管理和规划策略

城市化已被确认为物种濒危的主要原因之一。尽管城市生态学家做出了巨大的努力，但全球仍存在一些未被充分研究的地区，对鸟类研究有重要偏见。幸运的是，来自生物多样性丰富地区的研究越来越多。然而，除了少数例外，大多数基于证据的建议城市养护，管理和规划策略都保留在出版物中。这项研究的目的是通过汇编以墨西哥为依据的所有可用出版物，从“死信”中吸取它们，这些出版物明确建议了可能通过城市管理和/或规划影响鸟类保护的策略和/或行动。我们确定了三个主要建议主题：（1）绿地管理和规划，（2）研究和控制外来，入侵，和/或令人讨厌的物种，以及（3）公共政策，保护策略和计划。显然，来自墨西哥城市鸟类文献的建议提供了令人信服的指南，可以开始弥合基于证据的知识与实现生物多样性和宜居城市的建议的具体化之间的鸿沟。我们认为，城市生态知识的转移依赖于所有隐含的利益相关者的意愿，包括科学家，城市居民和决策者。显然，来自墨西哥城市鸟类文献的建议提供了令人信服的指南，可以开始弥合基于证据的知识与实现生物多样性和宜居城市的建议的具体化之间的鸿沟。我们认为，城市生态知识的转移依赖于所有隐含的利益相关者的意愿，包括科学家，城市居民和决策者。显然，来自墨西哥城市鸟类文献的建议提供了令人信服的指南，可以开始弥合基于证据的知识与实现生物多样性和宜居城市的建议的具体化之间的鸿沟。我们认为，城市生态知识的转移依赖于所有隐含的利益相关者的意愿，包括科学家，城市居民和决策者。
