Does it help adaptation that a significant proportion of urban frogs have changed their sex? Are urban birds smarter than their natural habitat counterparts? These were some of the questions discussed at the AE Budapest Knowledge Hub's lecture session, which focused on the conservation and restoration of urban natural habitats.
Csilla Stenger-Kovács, researcher at the University of Pannonia, presented the complex effects of agricultural landuse and urbanisation on aquatic ecosystems. The researcher focuses on diatoms, an indicator organism of ecological water quality. In contrast to the traditional approach, her research did not focus on diversity of species, but instead examined aquatic diatom communities on a functional basis.
