Gentrification and biodiversity

Biodiversity and gentrification

Science Sessions are brief conversations with cutting-edge researchers, National Academy members, and policymakers as they discuss topics relevant to today's scientific community. Learn the behind-the-scenes story of work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), plus a broad range of scientific news about discoveries that affect the world around us.

In this episode, Mason Fidino explores how gentrification changes biodiversity in urban areas.

In this episode, we cover:
•[00:00] Introduction
•[01:02] Mason Fidino, a quantitative ecologist at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, defines gentrification and its social impacts.
•[01:53] Fidino explains how gentrification changes neighborhoods.
•[03:09] Fidino explains why the research focused on medium to large mammals.
•[03:40] A description of camera traps and how they collect data.
•[05:09] The results, including links between gentrification and biodiversity.
•[06:59] The implications of the study for urban planners and urban residents.
•[08:23] Caveats and limitations of the study.
•[09:50] Conclusion.
