  • The Use of Spatial Metrics and Population Data in Mapping the Rural-Urban Transition and Exploring Models of Urban Growth in Hanoi, Vietnam

    Open AccessDuong H Nong, Jefferson Fox et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization Asia2021

    The process by which cities (or urban areas) expand over time has remained a key focus for geographers, ecologists and other scientists interested in urban phenomena for decades. This study investigated the use of spatial metrics and population data for defining and mapping rural-urban transition zones in Hanoi and exploring urban growth models. The analysis showed that in 2010, about 30% of communes within Hanoi could be defined as rural, 38% as…

  • Area is the primary correlate of annual and seasonal patterns of avian species richness in urban green spaces

  • Using theory to better communicate to different audiences about Whooping Crane conservation

    Sarah Lessard, Sarah K Lessard et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2020

    Effective outreach for an endangered species often requires an understanding of human dimensions information to guide pro-conservation behavior. To provide a foundation for outreach communication strategies regarding Whooping Crane conservation in Alabama, we administered surveys to local residents, waterfowl hunters, and birders. We tested a theoretical framework using constructs from the cognitive hierarchy, value-belief-norm theory, emotional …

  • The One Health Approach to Toxoplasmosis

    Open AccessA Alonso Aguirre, Travis Longcore et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2019

    One Health is a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort that seeks optimal health for people, animals, plants, and the environment. Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is an intracellular protozoan infection distributed worldwide, with a heteroxenous life cycle that practically affects all homeotherms and in which felines act as definitive reservoirs. Herein, we review the natural history of T. gondii, its transmission and impacts in huma…

  • Biodiversity in the City

    Christopher A Lepczyk, Myla F J Aronson et al.ARTICLEBioScience2017

    As urban areas expand, understanding how ecological processes function in cities has become increasingly important for conserving biodiversity. Urban green spaces are critical habitats to support biodiversity, but we still have a limited understanding of their ecology and how they function to conserve biodiversity at local and landscape scales across multiple taxa. Given this limited view, we discuss five key questions that need to be addressed t…

  • Perceptions of Whooping Cranes among waterfowl hunters in Alabama

    Sarah Lessard, Sarah K Lessard et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2017

    A central component of successful wildlife conservation is the understanding of public perceptions toward a species. We administered an online survey to Alabama waterfowl hunters (n = 284) to examine differences in awareness and knowledge of and attitudes toward Whooping Cranes. We investigated if these variables and/or birding specialization influenced likeliness to participate in conservation behaviors. Specialization level was positively relat…

  • Public Parks and Wellbeing in Urban Areas of the United States

    Open AccessLincoln R Larson, Victoria Jennings et al.EDITORARTICLEPLoS ONE2016

    Sustainable development efforts in urban areas often focus on understanding and managing factors that influence all aspects of health and wellbeing. Research has shown that public parks and green space provide a variety of physical, psychological, and social benefits to urban residents, but few studies have examined the influence of parks on comprehensive measures of subjective wellbeing at the city level. Using 2014 data from 44 U.S. cities, we …

  • Mapping Ocean Currents Through Human Observations

  • Vegetation dynamics and human settlement across the conterminous United States

    Open AccessMarc Linderman, Marc A Linderman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2013

    Demography and ecology have long been intertwined in terms of understanding the relationships between population and the environment. Recent advances in data and technology, coupled with our increased understanding of social and ecological process, have greatly expanded the ability to link populations and ecosystems in order to understand their interrelationships. However, there remains a paucity of understanding of how climatic variability relat…
