In the Company of Crows and Ravens
Crows and people share similar traits and social strategies. To a surprising extent, to know the crow is to know ourselves.” from the Preface From the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional, say the authors of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow c…

Waiting for Wolves in Japan
Waiting for Wolves in Japan: An Anthropological Study of People-Wildlife Relations JOHN KNIGHT OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, OXFORD, UK, 2003. 296 PP. $99.00 HARDCOVER REVIEWED BY JOHN M. MARZLUFF The Japanese people have shared their land with a diverse community of wildlife for millennia. They have revered, battled, hunted, and celebrated wildlife as a people with deep and close ties to nature. Some species, like the wolf, have been exterminated. Su…
Effects of Exurban Development on Biodiversity
Low-density rural home development is the fastest-growing form of land use in the United States since 1950. This “exurban” development (∼6–25 homes/km2) includes urban fringe development (UFD) on the periphery of cities and rural residential development (RRD) in rural areas attractive in natural amenities. This paper synthesizes current knowledge on the effects of UFD and RRD. We present two case studies and examine the patterns of biodiversity r…
Cultural Coevolution
We propose an additional synergy between human culture and the environment—a coevolution of human and other species’ cultures. We suggest that when humans interact with other social species,who themselves have the ability to evolve culture,then simple feedbacks from a culturally evolving “environment” can stimulate rapid cultural evolution in humans. We term the reciprocal adjustments in two or more species’ cultures “cultural coevolution”(Marzlu…
Ecological resilience in urban ecosystems
Integrating Humans into Ecology
Our central paradigm for urban ecology is that cities are emergent phenomena of local-scale, dynamic interactions among socioeconomic and biophysical forces. These complex interactions give rise to a distinctive ecology and to distinctive ecological forcing functions. Separately, both the natural and the social sciences have adopted complex system theory to study emergent phenomena, but attempts to integrate the natural and social sciences to und…
