How does wildlife adapt to urban environments?

13th November, 2024.  St Michael’s Church, Elmwood.  7pm-8.30pm.

Dr Philip Baker lectures Evolutionary Biology and Ecology at Reading University.  He is well known for his fox and hedgehog research as part of his work covering urban ecology, mammal diversity, behaviour and conservation.  He is part of the scientific advisory panel for The Mammal Society.

Studying wildlife behaviours in an urban environment is an interesting yet complex field of study.  Philip will share how some animals are adapting to cope with increased human presence and structural changes to habitats.  Philip will explain research and theories behind some species surviving better than others, and he will share some interesting questions he feels remain to be answered.  

This is an evening talking about a relatively new area of research and should evoke an amount of healthy thought and discussion. Please come along and join us!
