How humans change the habitats of other living things is a fairly popular topic of discussion, both in the scientific community and in the classroom. Climate change is one facet of that discussion, as is pollution. Another related phenomenon is habitat fragmentation, where habitats are broken up or made smaller as humans develop in previously natural areas. There’s tons of literature on each of these topics alone, but this post will only focus on one or two studies in each for space constraint reasons. If you want to know more, there’s plenty on Google Scholar or other literature search engines!
