Abstract:It is now well-recognized that urbanization strongly impacts wildlife communities and populations. However, we typically do not know which feature(s) affect individual species most strongly, and this lack of understanding impedes theory development and effective planning for conservation and management goals. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated how the abundance of ten mammal species responded to six different features of urbanization quantified at five spatial scales using data from 112 camera traps d… Show more
