disagree.... when the land is cleared most of the animals don't sit there and get run over - they run..... or fly away.. seen in many times...
I've written multiple research papers on population density and control.
When you destroy a habitat, most of those animals die. I'm not saying they are literally crushed by bulldozers. But they can't just say "Oops my house is crushed, gonna go down the street and live at Peter's house til I find a new one".
If they survive long enough to find another habitat, they are increasing the demand for food in that habitat. Which means animals are going to start starving and dying.
Why do you think coyotes are becoming more urban problems? It's because near big cities, the rural areas they live in are becoming more residential. So in order to survive, they have to stray into urban populations and communities, where they will inevitably die. No, that coyote didn't get run over by a bulldozer, but had that bulldozer never shown up, it would have stayed in the forest where it belongs.

Actually in some areas, coyotes are thriving, they have adapted well to urban enviroment, but other species are suffering due to the coyotes.

sure you have, that's why you believe your own BS...
and.... coyotes are increasing in the suburbs because we are increasing the perfect habitat for them.... and if you did your research like you claim you would know coyotes don't really thrive "in the forest" they thrive o n the fringes..... clearing "forests" in many cases creates MORE habitat and food sources....... please your BS may work on a layman - but when it comes to wildlife habitat, populations and management - I am no layman....

Coyotes were the wrong hill to die on for this argument.
