Why Urban Ecology Matters in Ethiopia

چکیده
Three concurrent global environmental trends are particularly apparent: human population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Especially in countries such as Ethiopia the Global South, all three impacted by, turn have bearing upon, social justice equity. Combined, these spatial factors reduce wellbeing, leading to increasing urgency create urban environments that more livable, resilient, adaptive. However, impacts on, of, non-human residents, on ecosystem services they provide, often neglected. We review literature using One Health theoretical framework focusing a case-study. argue for specific strategies benefit humans also spillover effects other species, vice versa. For example, trees provide shade, clean air, help combat change, livable neighborhoods, offer habitat many species. Similarly, neighborhoods attract wildlife characteristics make them desirable humans, resulting improved health outcomes, higher livability, enhanced real-estate values. After summarizing present state of knowledge about ecology, we emphasize components relevant developing world general pre- COVID-19 pandemic particular, then expand discussion include equity concerns built environment.

Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology.
Natural populations consist of phenotypically diverse individuals that exhibit variation in their demographic parameters and intra- and inter-specific interactions. Recent experimental work indicates that such variation can have significant ecological effects. However, ecological models typically disregard this variation and focus instead on trait means and total population density. Under what ...
