Mammal Mia: A review on how ecological and human dimension research on urban wild mammals can benefit future biophilic cities

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology
Future cities have the potential to be biodiverse areas in which humans and wildlife can coexist. However, the success of creating or maintaining wildlife-inclusive future cities can be challenged by management actions that are solely based on ecological

Dealing with Unwanted Wildlife in an Urban Environment

open access: yesEDIS, 2019
Because of its great diversity of habitat types, Florida is home to more wildlife species than most other states. It is literally impossible to live in this state without seeing or hearing wildlife on a daily basis.

Business and Biodiversity: Scaling Conservation Enterprises Within and Beyond Place for Transformative Change

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

The Impact of FinTech on the Achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: A Hybrid Systematic Review

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Financial technology (FinTech) is recognized as an important enabler of sustainable development. However, it presents a fragmented and limited explanation of how FinTech may contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this hybrid systematic review of 93 articles published between 2015 and May 2026, this study ...

Wildlife in U.S. Cities: Managing Unwanted Animals

open access: yesAnimals, 2015
Conflicts between people and wild animals in cities are undoubtedly as old as urban living itself. In the United States it is only of late, however, that many of the species now found in cities have come to live there.

Taxon‐dependent multisite species turnover in fragmented habitats: comparing zeta diversity across birds, butterflies, and cursorial hunting spiders

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation alters species diversity and reshapes community composition. However, conventional pairwise approaches to compositional variation (i.e. beta diversity metrics) do not explicitly characterize how species sharing or turnover change with the number of habitat patches.

A conceptual framework to evaluate human-wildlife interactions within coupled human and natural systems

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2014
Landscape characteristics affect human-wildlife interactions. However, there is a need to better understand mechanisms that drive those interactions, particularly feedbacks that exist between wildlife-related impacts, human reaction to and behavior as a

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

The Urban Wildlife Institute: Exploring Chicago's wildlife

open access: yes, 2016
The Lincoln Park Zoo founded the Urban Wildlife Institute (UWI) in 2008, with the goal of conducting science to minimize conflict between humans and wildlife in cities around the world. UWI has since created a massive and unprecedented urban wildlife biodiversity monitoring network throughout the Chicagoland region.
