Coyotes in the Atlanta metro? Removing them permanently may not be possible.

We compared stable isotope profiles of urban and nonurban coyote populations to test whether urbanisation fosters niche diversification among individuals. Urban coyotes had narrower dietary niches an...

What do animals eat when they live in urban spaces? Tali Caspi, urban ecologist and Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Davis, takes off the lid. Tali’s work on urban wildlife focuses on ...

Research unveils wealth, pollution, and population density are strong predictors of coyote movement.

Using GPS collar data from coyotes (Canis latrans) in Los Angeles, California, we show that movement models with societal covariates outperform those considering only linear infrastructure and ecolog....

In the first study of its kind, scientists found a correlation between climate change and a rise in urban rat populations.

A new study by UC Davis PhD student Tali Caspi reveals the breakdown of what coyotes are really eating in San Francisco.

In the past decade, studies have demonstrated that urban and nonurban wildlife populations exhibit differences in foraging behavior and diet. However, little is known about how environmental heteroge....

On Monday morning, Chicago Animal Care and Control responded to a report of a coyote at the Humboldt Park Aldi store.

Animal populations can exhibit dramatic variation in individual fitness, and microbiota are emerging as a potentially understudied factor influencing host health. Bacterial diversity and community st...

Experience San Diego, where dazzling biodiversity thrives amidst a transformed urban landscape.

Ecology and evolution of plants and animals in urban areas. Written by scientists, students, and naturalists interested in how organisms respond to human modification of the environment.

"We need to understand the profound impacts that racial inequality, systemic racism and social injustice have on shaping our natural landscape."

Ungulates are the major source of carrion in European ecosystems, with human hunting leftovers being important in the absence of large carnivores like wolves. However, although our model shows that c...
