To offer some hope for the future of wildlife under an ever-evolving climate, Gaynor cited the North American urban environment as an example. "Species like coyotes and raccoons just really thrive under disturbance. We might see ...
Systems (the interdependency of life and its environment): Explain the concept of a food web and what happens if one species disappears; explain what factors contribute to changes in the size of populations; explain what biodiv...

Temperate forests exist in the eastern United States and much of Europe. They contain hardwood trees which are deciduous, meaning that they lose their leaves in the autumn. The number of species is limited when compared to a jungle. Inhabitants include raccoons, deer and salamanders. ...
raccoons, squirrels and deer. Using trail cameras, we found that when wild pigs were present, other animals altered their activity patterns in various ways to avoid them. Such shifts may have additional cascading effects on ecosystems, because they change how and when species interact in the ...
shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the ...

In fact, cat fleas are the most common fleas on both cats and dogs and have been known to infest more than 50 different animals, including raccoons, weasels, opossums and badgers. There are also human fleas, rat fleas (which were responsible for spreading the bubonic plague), rabbit fleas...
