Understanding how wildlife responds to the spread of human-dominated habitats is a major challenge in ecology. It is still poorly understood how urban areas affect wildlife space-use patterns and consistent intra-specific behavioral differences (i.e., behavioral types; BTs), which in turn shape various ecological processes. To address these questions, we investigated the movements of a common resident wader, the spur-winged lapwing (Vanellus spinosus), hypothesizing that urban individuals will be more mobile than rural ones. We used an ATLAS tracking system to track many (n=135) individuals at a high resolution (8 second-fix interval) over several months each. We first established that daily movement indices show consistent differences among individuals, acting as spatial-BTs. Then focusing on the two main principle-components of lapwings’ daily-movements – mobility and position along the exploration-exploitation gradient– we investigated how these BTs are shaped by urbanization, season (nesting vs. non-nesting), and sex. We found that urban lapwings were indeed more mobile in both seasons. Furthermore, urban females were less explorative than rural females, especially during the nesting season. These results highlight how urbanization affects wildlife behavior, even of apparently urban-resilient avian residents. This underscores the need to consider possible behavioral consequences that are only apparent through advanced tracking methods.
