However, our understanding of urban ecology is far from complete, and the data at hand are often patchy, leaving stakeholders without the tools they need to successfully manage human-affected ecosystems. Recent BioScience author Chris Lepczyk, a biologist working at Auburn University, joins us for this episode of BioScience Talks to discuss the future of urban biodiversity, highlighting trends and raising questions whose answers will be crucial for successful \"green\" management and healthy urban ecosystems.\n Read the article discussed on the show.\n Subscribe on iTunes.\nSubscribe on Stitcher.\nCatch up with us on Twitter.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qBYks7z_LrDl0xWejdg8NVAnyaJl-cO9SFuWMRl7QoQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5MzM0LzE2MTU1/OTEwMDEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
