We present an overview of the global spatiotemporal distribution avian biodiversity, changes in our knowledge that and extent to which it is imperilled. Birds are probably most completely inventoried large taxonomic class organisms, permitting a uniquely detailed understanding how Anthropocene has shaped their distributions conservation status space time. summarize threats driving bird species richness abundance, highlighting increasingly synergistic interactions between such as habitat loss, climate change, overexploitation.

Mammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8(5), P. 924 - 935

Abstract Wildlife must adapt to human presence survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical understand species responses humans different contexts. We used camera trapping as a lens view mammal changes activity during COVID-19 pandemic. Across 163 sampled 102 projects around world, amount and timing of animal varied widely. Under higher activity, mammals were less active undeveloped areas but unexpectedly more developed while exhibiting greater nocturnality. Carnivores most sensitive, showing strongest decreases greatest increases managers consider how habituation uneven sensitivity across may cause fundamental differences human–wildlife interactions along gradients influence.

Urbanization affects spatial variation and species similarity of bird diversity distribution

Science Advances, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(49)

Published: Dec. 9, 2022

Although cities are human-dominated systems, they provide habitat for many other species. Because of the lack long-term observation data, it is challenging to assess impacts rapid urbanization on biodiversity in Global South countries. Using multisource we provided first analysis bird distribution at continental scale and found that distributional hot spots threatened birds overlapped greatly with urbanized areas, only 3.90% birds' preferred land cover type urban built-up areas. Bird ranges being reshaped differently because their different adaptations urbanization. While green infrastructure can improve local diversity, homogeneous environment also leads species compositions more similar across regions. More attention should be paid narrow-range formulation conservation strategies, actions further coordinated among from a global perspective.

Avian behaviour changes in response to human activity during the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom

Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 289(1983)

Human activities may impact animal habitat and resource use, potentially influencing contemporary evolution in animals. In the United Kingdom, COVID-19 lockdown restrictions resulted sudden, drastic alterations to human activity. We hypothesized that short-term daily long-term seasonal changes mobility might result bird depending on type (home, parks grocery) extent of change. Using Google data 872 850 observations, we determined during lockdown, altered use 80% (20/25) our focal species. When humans spent more time at home, over half affected species had lower counts, perhaps resulting from disturbance birds garden habitats. Bird counts some (e.g. rooks gulls) increased short term as parks, possibly due human-sourced food resources picnic refuse), while other tits sparrows) decreased. All when less grocery services. Avian rapidly adjusted novel environmental conditions demonstrated behavioural plasticity, but with diverse responses, reflecting different interactions pressures caused by

There are different area-based factors affecting the COVID-19 mortality rate in urban areas. This research aims to examine rates and their geographical association with various socioeconomic ecological determinants 350 of Tehran’s neighborhoods as a big city. All deaths related included from December 2019 July 2021. Spatial techniques, such Kulldorff’s SatScan, geographically weighted regression (GWR), multi-scale GWR (MGWR), were used investigate spatially varying correlations between predictors, including air pollutant factors, status, built environment public transportation infrastructure. The city’s downtown northern areas found be significantly clustered terms spatial temporal high-risk for mortality. MGWR model outperformed OLS models an adjusted R2 0.67.
