Integrated Approaches to Long-TermStudies of Urban Ecological Systems
TLDR
An emerging approach to understanding the ecology of urban areas by contrasting these two metropolises is described, and a call to action for ecologists to integrate their science with that of social scientists to achieve a more realistic and useful understanding of the natural world in general and its ecology in particular is presented.
