History of Urban Wildlife Conservation,tter half of the thirteenth century. At that time, game animals could not be taken between March and October. Such practice found its way to Europe where a long history developed of setting hunting seasons and bag limits to manage game species. . is considered the oldest English book on hunting, wri

Abiotic Drivers of Ecological Structure and Function in Urban Systems,understand urban wildlife. The study of ecosystems considers the flow of energy and materials between organisms and their physical environment. For instance, how much energy enters an ecosystem through the process of primary production—the conversion of CO., water, and solar energy into biomass—by p

Plants are also important components of the biogeochemical cycles that drive the movement of energy and resources. As primary producers, plants make energy available to higher trophic levels by converting sunlight, via photosynthesis, into biomass. Plants also create highly te

Wildlife Responses to Urbanization: Patterns of Diversity and Community Structure in Built Environmemblages (i.e., how and why certain species coexist). The structure of communities is described by their diversity—comprised of richness (number of species present) and evenness (the relative abundance of each species)—and interactions among the constituent species. Communities are biotic components

Wildlife Population Dynamics in Urban Landscapes,ion about species-specific relationships with urbanization. Identifying the specific ways in which urban and non-urban wildlife populations differ and the underlying reasons for those differences is a challenging and complex task. After all, the response of a species to urbanization may be the conse

We do not yet know how living in urban areas will ultimately affect the animals that share our urban environments, but we are at the beginning of a new and important scientific effort to study the effects of urban
