Urban areas support nearly every taxonomic group of insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals, including wild and domestic animals. The most successful urban wildlife can adjust to human activity and are generalists when seeking food, water, and shelter. Some animals are enjoyed by humans, while others are feared and exterminated. Insects

Most Australians live in the capital cities (more than 80 per cent) and that proportion continues to increase. But Australia is also a nation of regional cities and of suburbs (Beatley and Newman 2009). The expansion of human-dominated landscapes such as cities and suburbs has a major impact upon the distribution and abundance of native and introduced ...

Inequalities in noise will affect urban wildlife
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023Understanding how systemic biases influence local ecological communities is essential for developing just and equitable environmental practices that prioritize both human and wildlife well-being. With over 270 million residents inhabiting urban areas in the United States, the socioecological consequences of racially targeted zoning, such as redlining ...

Minimizing fear of wildlife in urban areas
Science, 2021The likelihood of an increase in conflict between humans and wildlife as climate change intensifies is undeniable. Therefore, the role that human fear plays in these events must be considered. The reaction of humans to animals, especially in cities, is often disproportionate to the danger they pose.

Blow flies as urban wildlife sensors
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2018AbstractWildlife detection in urban areas is very challenging. Conventional monitoring techniques such as direct observation are faced with the limitation that urban wildlife is extremely elusive. It was recently shown that invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) can be used to assess wildlife diversity in tropical rainforests.

Wild animals in urban areas face unique challenges. They live in environments modified by and for humans without having evolved in these environments, but unlike domesticated animals, they remain under the auspices of natural selection. We do not yet know how living in urban areas will ultimately affect the animals that share our urban environments ...

“Good” and “Bad” Urban Wildlife
2020Urban environments offer habitat for many species of animals. Although some of those are ubiquitous and/or undesirable, others are native and in some cases, of conservation value. In many cases, urban wildlife populations are a source of enjoyment for human residents, who sometimes invest considerable amounts in attracting them to yards and public ...

Wildlife Corridors: An Urban Political Ecology
Local Environment, 2007Wildlife corridors constitute one of a number of increasingly influential strategic nature conservation tools deployed in urban greenspace planning. The following paper develops an urban political ecology approach to understand wildlife corridors as quasi-objects that play a key role in articulating between the realms of ecology and planning ...

Behavioural responses of wildlife to urban environments
Biological Reviews, 2012Increased urbanization represents a formidable challenge for wildlife. Nevertheless, a few species appear to thrive in the evolutionarily novel environment created by cities, demonstrating the remarkable adaptability of some animals. We argue that individuals that can adjust their behaviours to the new selection pressures presented by cities should ...

Urban Wildlife Communication and Negotiation
2014Effective communication shapes how urban audiences affect and are affected by wildlife, ranging from policy making and management to citizen science and conflict resolution. This chapter reviews the elements of communication: Sources, Encoding, Messages and Media, Decoding, Receivers, and Feedback.
