Good morning, class. Today we're discussing the impact of urbanization on local wildlife. One key finding from a recent study is that while many species struggle in cities, some birds, like the peregrine falcon, have adapted remarkably well. They nest on tall buildings, which mimic their natural cliff habitats. However, the study also noted that the availability of prey, such as pigeons, is crucial. Interestingly, the falcons in the city center have higher breeding success than those in suburban areas, likely due to warmer temperatures and less predation. This suggests that urban environments can sometimes support biodiversity better than we expect.
