Answers
Answer:
Wild life and COVID–19: The Bad
Answer:
Wildlife and Covid -19 the good
The good: effects of reduced human disturbance on spatial or ranging behaviour, breeding success, and mortality
2.1. Changes of wildlife activity during the lockdown observations from the media:-
From the beginning of March until April 23, 2020, data collecters performed a broad survey of online newspapers, social media posts linking observations of wildlife to COVID-19 lockdown for Italy and other countries . On the basis of 102 news/posts related to 156 observations that embrace 73 species/taxa and some descriptions of general patterns, it appears that the lockdown triggered both the exploitation of novel/unusual habitats and an increase of daily activity of otherwise nocturnal/crepuscular species, as evidenced by 83 observations related to observations of animals in Italy .
2.2. Activity and abundance changes during the lockdown: evidence from field data
Data collecters compared the number of records (confirmed by pictures) of porcupines in March–April between the years 2011–2019 and 2020 throughout Italy, and they also noted those in urban areas. Despite the lockdown, the total number of records of porcupines in 2020 was similar to that of the previous years, suggesting that the survey effort did not markedly change among years. However, the proportion of records in urban areas increased remarkably in 2020 compared to previous years (Fig. 3B), whereas the number of observations in non-urban settings did not change (likelihood ratio test, χ2 = 8.21, d.f. = 1, one-tailed P = 0.002).
