High diversity in an urban habitat: are some animal assemblages resilient to long-term anthropogenic change?

URBAN ECOSYSTEMS, 18(2), 449–463.

By: B. Guenard*, A. Cardinal-De Casas n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: B. Guénard*, A. Cardinal-De Casas n & R. Dunn n

TL;DR: Water temperatures in the North Atlantic have increased by up to 1.3oC since the 1980s, and this has had a direct effect on the distribution of small fish species, which has seen a rise in subtropical species like sardines and anchovies, and a loss of native species like herring and sprat.

Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n, A. Dale n, A. Terando n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: Acer rubrum; climate change; global warming; herbivory; historical comparison; Melanaspis tenebricosa; urban ecosystem; urban warming
MeSH headings : Acer / parasitology; Animals; Cities; Climate Change / history; Hemiptera / physiology; Herbivory / physiology; History, 19th Century; History, 20th Century; Population Density; Southeastern United States; Temperature; Trees / parasitology; Urbanization
