A new study co-authored by Roland Kays, Head of the NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ Biodiversity Lab, investigated how humans on trails affect mammals in wild, suburban or rural areas. The results suggest which species will thrive around humans or human infrastructure, and which ones need our help.
The study is published in the journal Global Change Biology.
