For example, cities have a dearth of vegetation and other natural resources, coupled with increased habitat fragmentation and an abundance of roads as well as altered climate (e.g. temperature, light, rainfall and water runoff). It is therefore intriguing that several carnivore species have become established...
متن کاملBrains and the city: big-brained passerine birds succeed in urban environments.
Urban regions are among the most human-altered environments on Earth and they are poised for rapid expansion following population growth and migration. Identifying the biological traits that determine which species are likely to succeed in urbanized habitats is important for predicting global trends in biodiversity. We provide the first evidence for the intuitive yet untested hypothesis that re...
متن کاملUrban Dictionaries: Modeling and Simplifying City Environments
Urban environments are challenging to model because they are both very large and very diverse. The size of the environment makes capturing the details of every structure prohibitive, leaving us with only sparse information. Photogrammetric reconstruction attempts to build 3D structures but is often not robust and requires manual input, thus making it difficult to scale to large areas. Procedura...
