Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the impact of urbanization on local wildlife. A recent study conducted in Melbourne followed the movements of urban foxes over two years. Researchers found that foxes in the city center had smaller home ranges compared to those in suburban areas. Interestingly, the foxes' diet varied significantly: those near parks consumed more insects, while those in residential zones relied heavily on discarded human food. The study also noted that noise levels did not affect their activity patterns, but artificial lighting did, causing them to hunt later at night.
