Quotes by Menno Schilthuizen (?)

“These constantly arriving foreign inhabitants form the first of at least four explanations for the high biodiversity urban naturalists are encountering in their cities. A second explanation is the fact that the places where people like to build their settlements, which then grow into cities, are often biologically rich areas to begin with.”
― Menno Schilthuizen, Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution

2 likes

“A third source of urban biological richness is, in fact, the loss of good-quality habitat immediately outside the city perimeter.”
― Menno Schilthuizen, Darwin Comes to Town: How the Urban Jungle Drives Evolution

2 likes

“The fourth and final explanation for the rich biodiversity of cities is the sheer diversity of habitat patches.”
