Although urbanization reduces the abundance of many wildlife parasites, transmission can, in some cases, increase among urban-adapted hosts, with effects on rarer wildlife or those living beyond city limits. Continued rapid urbanization, together with risks posed by multi-host pathogens for humans and...
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 ...

ecosystems. For instance, previous works highlighted that land abandonment reduces grassland biodiversity due toafforestation(e.g.,Jacoboski et al., 2019;Wang et al., 2019). Overall, thisrewildingprocess due to land abandonment increases habitat quality and expands the liveable areas for wildlife (...
These environmental stressors can have detrimental effects on wildlife, disrupting their natural behaviors, reproductive cycles, and overall health. Furthermore, urban areas often serve as hubs for the introduction and spread of invasive species, which can outcompete native species for resources and ...
Urban areas are often characterized by high levels of air and water pollution, as well as the generation of large amounts of waste. These pollutants can have detrimental effects on the health of wildlife and their habitats, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Additionally, the conversion of ...
constructed using the risk-based CIA framework (Table1). Cumulative impact probability refers to the probability of future urbanization having an impact on the cultural heritage site. Cumulative impact vulnerability refers to the current impact of urbanization on the cultural heritage site and its ...
question fundamental characteristics and expectations of the city and its scale, creating new visions for increased wellbeing62. The future process of urbanization in the post-COVID-19 Anthropocene where globalization processes may be more wisely managed and consequences of different decisions are easier...
Because much of the growth is expected in areas relatively stressed with respect to human–environment interactions, such as some coastal counties, implications for landscape and urban planning include potential impacts on sensitive watersheds, riparian areas, wildlife habitat, and water supplies....
However, the influence of human population density on plant flowering and leaf-out depends on the regional temperature: high population density advanced plant phenology in cold areas but this effect disappeared or even reversed in warm areas. UHI effects (as measured by daily land surface ...
