By recording these abiotic factors the overall effects of urbanization on the adjacent land can be observed rather than a specific class of species.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110772858530192036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596435932432099029.post-16862955460719066272017-03-18T19:42:20.737-05:002017-03-18T19:42:20.737-05:00It is interesting that the rapid growth in these r...It is interesting that the rapid growth in these regions hasn't affected mammals like one would assume. However, this is for medium-sized mammals. I wonder if it is different for the species that do not fall into this category but still have an impact on our ecosystems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303266363157642040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596435932432099029.post-4919197804410046052017-02-28T12:57:51.274-06:002017-02-28T12:57:51.274-06:00Interesting study, I wonder if limiting implicatio...Interesting study, I wonder if limiting implications for protection to "medium-sized mammals" misses the larger picture of overall ecosystem health. Even in assessing the well being these mammals it is necessary to consider the health of their food sources (smaller invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, and vegetation) to accurately assess long-term population condition. Is it possible that these other components of near-urban ecosystems are more greatly affected by being in close proximity to high rates of human activity?
