摘      要：Ciries represent a unique ecosystem dominated by humans and highdensity man-made infrastructure,associated with modifications or entire loss of local habitats.Thus,urbanization constitutes a consid-erable challenge for wildlife,and only a minority of species is able to persist in cities(Niemela et al.2011).Species that maintain popula-tions in cities are usually characterized by significant changes in life history characteristics,population structure,and ecological relations(Niemela et al.2011).
