Behavioral plasticity of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) provides new insights for urban wildlife management in metropolis Shanghai, China
by Yihan Wang1, Qianqian Zhao1, Lishan Tang2, Weiming Lin1, Zhuojin Zhang3, Yixin Diao1, Yue Weng1, Bojian Gu1, Yidi Feng4, Qing Zhao
Species(bat): raccoon dogs Abstract: As urbanization exposes wildlife to new challenging conditions and environmental pressures, species that exhibit a high degree of behavioral plasticity are considered potentially capable of colonizing and adapting to urban environments. However, differences in... -
