    A comparison of egg investment in lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus) from urban and non-urban colonies Vanja Sand Syversen Department of Biological Sciences Master of Science in Biodiversity, Evolution and Ecology Spring 2021 Supervisors: Geir Systad1 & Øystein Varpe1.2 1Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) 2University of Bergen (UiB) Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors Geir Helge Systad and Øystein Varpe for all the guidance and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for the time you spent and the rewarding discussions we ended up having during this year. Secondly, I would like to thank the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) for making this project possible, as well as a special thank you to Arild Breistøl for his help and advice in the field. Thank you to my friends and family for continuous love and support. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends in the class of 2016 for all the parties, wine nights and fun. You have gotten me through every exam period the last five years and I probably wouldn’t have made it without you. 2 Abstract While the increasing worldwide urbanization generally has negative effects on biodiversity, some animals, like roof nesting gulls, are able to take advantage of these areas and have generated large populations in a number of cities. This increase is thought to result from the favorable living conditions urban systems can provide, such as high food densities, warmer temperatures, lower predation rates, and ample nesting sites. However, few studies have focused on the urbanization of gulls.
