Urbanization is rapidly transforming coastal landscapes around the world, altering structure and function of marine, intertidal, terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we explore impact urbanization on vertebrate scavenging assemblages ecosystem functions they provide in sandy beach ecosystems across 40km central California coast, USA. We surveyed using baited camera traps 17 beaches spanning a gradient urbanization. found that extent within small spatial scales (i.e., 1km or 3km radii each site) rate visitation by humans domestic dogs were best additive predictors assemblage structure. identified pronounced urbanization-associated shifts composition scavenger guilds but these differences did not lead to subsequent changes performed shoreline scavengers. Rates carrion processing differ gradient, with synanthropic non-native species compensating for absence predominate native scavengers documented rural areas. Our results underscore pervasive nuanced effects dynamics land-sea connectivity demonstrate urban can sometimes sustain critical face landscape transformation. Recognizing intricate interplay between dynamics, suggest comprehensive consideration cross-realm impacts ongoing conservation development efforts ensure sustainability resilience land- seascapes.

Abstract The role of scavengers is well understood in terrestrial and marine systems but less so freshwater ecosystems. We synthesized existing knowledge scavenger ecology freshwater, particularly within the context Anthropocene, including patchy distribution carrion, consumer responses, competition, transfer energy, nutrients, diseases. also explored ecosystem services provided by scavengers, such as direct material benefits improvements water quality. In addition, we examined how human activities—such climate change, disturbance, exploitation, fragmentation—are affecting behavior abundance. To mitigate these anthropogenic impacts, identified management options for environmental practitioners decision-makers, emphasizing importance integrating roles into plans providing adequate policy protections. Finally, highlighted key gaps, regarding changes populations their food sources may alter structure function.

Abstract Urbanization is rapidly transforming coastal landscapes around the world, altering structure and function of marine, intertidal, terrestrial ecosystems. In tandem, areas are hotspots for human recreation, leading to shifts in wildlife behavior activity patterns. Together, urban development recreational use habitats can shape behavior, abundance, ecosystem dynamics at different spatial temporal scales. this study, we explore impact urbanization domestic dog on vertebrate scavenging assemblages functions they provide sandy beach ecosystems across 40 km central California coast, USA. We surveyed using baited camera traps 17 beaches spanning a gradient urbanization. found that extent within small scales (i.e., 1 or 3 radii each site) rate visitation by dogs humans were best additive predictors assemblage structure. identified pronounced urbanization‐associated composition scavenger guilds but carrion processing was more strongly influenced habitat diel period. Scavenging substantially lower with dogs, suggesting interfere critical beaches. Our results underscore pervasive nuanced effects recreation land–sea connectivity suggest need comprehensive consideration cross‐ecosystem linkages ongoing shoreline conservation efforts.
