Success and the city: biodiversity responses in urban environments

该项目旨在量化物种特征和环境条件，使野生动物能够在日益城市化的世界中生存。通过开发和测试一个将史无前例的城市扩张与生物多样性变化联系起来的框架，该项目将确定在全球城市化面前支持生物多样性的有利条件。项目成果将为适当的现实世界管理行动提供信息，并为科学家、政策制定者和规划者提供预测澳大利亚城市生物多样性持久性的工具。通过发现物种在城市生活中生存所需的属性，该项目将有助于防止我们日益城市化的世界中未来全球生物多样性的灾难性下降。

This project aims to quantify the species traits and environmental conditions that enable wildlife to persist in an increasingly urbanised world. Through developing and testing a framework linking unprecedented urban expansion and biodiversity change, this project will identify favourable conditions that support biodiversity in the face of global urbanisation. Project outcomes will inform appropriate real-world management actions and equip scientists, policy-makers and planners with tools to forecast the persistence of biodiversity in Australian cities. By discovering the attributes species need to survive city life this project will help prevent future catastrophic declines of global biodiversity in our increasingly urbanised world.
