Different Strategies for Urban Animal Survival

Animals in cities adopt varied strategies for survival. Mobile generalists like urban bats and beetles thrive on flexibility, moving across large areas and having a broad diet. On the other hand, urban birds and bees succeed as central place foragers, nesting in fixed locations while diversifying their diets. Site specialists such as reptiles and amphibians adapt by specializing their diets, moving in smaller areas, and having fewer offsprings to cope with urban challenges.
