"The nature that people interact with isn't what's in Banff or some provincial park," said Alessandro Filazzola, lead author of a paper published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One."It's in their backyard.
That combination allowed him and his colleagues to estimate how common each animal is in its current environment, how widely it's distributed and how climate changes such as temperature and precipitation could affect its future.By the end of the century, cities such as Ottawa and Edmonton could become hospitable for hundreds of new species while losing habitat for a couple dozen.
On the other hand, the animals most likely to take advantage are the ones already widespread. Local specialists are likely to lose out. Songbird distribution is likely to drop. Foxes, too. But if you like pelicans, you may be in for a treat. Same with various kinds of lizards. "There's lots of reasons why or why not a species would live in a city. There could be no food when it gets there, there could be a predator that eats it."
