Article Synopsis
- Understanding how urban development affects native wildlife is crucial for effective conservation efforts.
- Research in Brisbane City examined the presence of native reptiles and small mammals in urban habitat fragments and related it to specific environmental features at each site.
- Findings suggest that habitat structure, such as the presence of termite mounds and fallen woody material for reptiles, is more critical for maintaining species diversity than the types of vegetation present.
