In this article, scientists examine different land uses, from urban to suburban to rural landscapes, and their effects on wildlife. In particular, the scientists examine how different features of these landscapes affect the mammal populations found in residential yards. The scientists also wanted to know how human-provided resources and disturbances – like gardens, feeders, lights, fences, etc. – might affect mammal populations in these yards.
