Abstract This perspective emerged from ongoing dialogue among ecologists initiated by a virtual workshop in 2021. A transdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners conclude that urban ecology as science can better contribute to positive futures focusing on relationships, rather than prioritizing structures. Insights other relational disciplines, such political ecology, governance, design, conservation also contribute. Relationality is especially powerful given the need rapidly adapt changing social biophysical drivers global systems. These unprecedented dynamics are understood through lens traditional structural questions. We use three kinds coproduction—of social-ecological world, science, actionable knowledge—to identify key processes coproduction within places. Connectivity crucial ecology. Eight themes emerge joint explorations paper point toward action for improving life environment futures.

In an increasingly urbanized world, urban biodiversity is people's primary contact with nature. However, as cities expand and densify, green blue spaces their are under pressure, risking declines in liveability. This Review discusses the benefits of multiple challenges it faces, identifies opportunities pathways towards developing sustainable, biodiverse for both humans The substantial biological richness that areas can harbour helps to mitigate environmental pressures, address adapt climate change, human health well-being. challenged by competition space, pressures declining engagement residents Understanding underlying mechanisms informs efforts create maintain high-quality blue–green infrastructure.

Abstract This paper positions urban ecology as increasingly conversant with multiple perspectives and methods for understanding the functions qualities of diverse cities situations. Despite progress in field, we need clear pathways positioning, connecting synthesising specific knowledge to make it speak more systemic questions about life within them. These be able use sources information better account relations between people, other species ecological, social, cultural, economic, technical digital structures that they are embedded in. Grounded a description needed, propose five complementary often connected approaches building cumulative understandings, framework combining different evidence. The help position fields study entry points further advance interdisciplinary synthesis open up new research.

Abstract Free‐ranging cats are widely tolerated in cities, and animal welfare organizations increasingly allow for ‘trap, neuter release’ (TNR) of unowned cats. We show, using the example a university campus adjacent to national park large metropole, that this has implications cosmopolitics over biodiversity on urban edge. A camera trap survey showed were most abundant medium/large mammal species, some individuals hunted within protected area competed with other native predators. Despite concerns from ecologists biologists (who favoured precautionary approach cat management), policymakers status quo (supporting colonies TNR'd cats), noting useful pest rodent control no extinction threats wildlife evident. This outcome, we suggest, reflects long‐standing multi‐species assemblage humans, rodents cats, appreciation as hunters pets. It also points limits ecological information resolving which species should be allowed flourish. Yet study shows systematic data collection photographic evidence can help render lives visible (including their predators competitors) assist policy deliberation.
