Urban Wildlife

Clark Adams, PhD

This course will examine the ecological, cultural, political, and economic consequences of wildlife in urban communities. Of special importance are urban residents’ attitudes, activities, expectations, and knowledge concerning the wildlife in their neighborhoods. The first session will compare the ecology of urban communities with wild lands. This will be followed by studies of (1) white-tailed deer, (2) coyotes, (3) raccoons, (4) rattlesnakes, (5) flocking birds—crows, cowbirds, and vul- tures—and (6) feral cats, dogs, and hogs. If time permits, the impacts of urban gray and green spaces on wildlife will be in- cluded.

Clark E. Adams is a Professor in the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences at Texas A&M University in College Sta- tion, Texas. He holds a B.S. degree in biology and education

from Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebraska, an M.S. in biology and education from the University of Oregon, and a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Nebraska—Lincoln. He has been a classroom teacher since 1964. He coauthored the first textbook on Urban Wildlife Management and developed and teaches an urban wildlife management course in his de- partment. He and his students have conducted and published many national, regional, and statewide studies on the public’s activities, attitudes, expectations, and knowledge concerning wildlife. He is the coauthor of another book titled Texas Rattle- snake Roundups.
