Urban environment for carnivore and conservation topics General characteristics of carnivore species succeeded to adapt urban environment are as follows. ① Most of the carnivore that inhabit urban/suburb ecosystem tend to be small to medium sized. ② Relatively high reproductive potential, coyotes, raccoons, and red foxes which females can breed at an early age and large litters. ③ In behavior, tolerance for or lack of avoidance of humans. For conservation, the diet generalist is seemed to be clearly advantageous in urban areas, but at the same time it lead many negative interactions between people and carnivores. In addition, original habits tend to be changed in process of distribute from mountains to urban habitat through suburb, experiencing habitat fragmentation, may facilitating evolutionary responses to novel environment “urban”. Not only in animals, humans in urban environment also clearly diverse in lifestyles, provisioning food, changed climate, animal right/welfare, etc. These makes us to wonder the urban carnivore’s surprising shifts in tolerance of humans. |
| Expected Learning |
| To look at urban environment through a family Carnivora, I appreciate if it is fruitful to experience animal social system and ecology as science, as well as conservation ecology as one of field science in TUAT. |
