Climate change expected to drive shifts in urban birds, animals, bugs

A study suggests climate change will drive a massive shift in the birds, bugs and other critters that live alongside humans.

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.

"If a species is widely distributed, like raccoons, the likelihood of climate change making them leave a city is really low. It's in the localized species — the ones you only see in a couple cities — that you see the change." Filazzola cautions that the projections in his study won't necessarily come to pass. Climate isn't the only factor that influences where a species is able to live.

The wholesale shift that could be on its way has implications for pest control and other services that rely on the environment. And it could change how we feel about our own habitat.
