Automatic Extraction of Urban Impervious Surface Based on SAH-Unet

open access: yes, 2023
Increases in the area of impervious surfaces have occurred with urbanization. Such surfaces are an important indicator of urban expansion and the natural environment.

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Impervious surfaces – landscapes, images, writings

open access: yes, 2022
No talho da palavra, a abertura. Percorremos, em superfícies, paisagens, imagens, escritas. Suas circunstâncias gráficas - insustentáveis matérias de outras escutas -, endereçam o fugidio e o dissonante em gesto e pensamento. Ensaiamos, aqui, algumas aproximações improváveis entre elas e experimentamos modos outros de narrar. Palavras-chave: Paisagens;

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

Beyond first clutches: Second broods reshape selection on breeding timing in forest and urban great tits

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Most studies of selection on breeding timing consider only first clutches. Using a 13‐year dataset of urban and forest great tits, we show that including second broods reshapes estimates of natural selection, revealing that early breeding is favoured through increased probability of multiple brooding and higher annual reproductive output.

Analysis on Spatial Pattern of Urban Heat Island and Impervious Surface Using Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis

open access: yes, 2011
Based on Landsat ETM+ data within the metropolitan area of Lanzhou, China, green vegetation(GV) and impervious surface was extracted by a constrained linear spectral mixture analysis (LSMA),together with single window algorithm to invert land surface ...

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Regional impervious surface estimation: an urban heat island application

open access: yes
This paper describes a GIS-based estimation method that can be used to forecast future amounts of impervious surface as a mitigation measure for urban heat island effect in a metropolitan region. The method is unique because it employs a regression model
