The evolutionary effects of redlining are percolating through urban wildlife populations, but they are not yet set in stone.
Not only does the composition of wildlife differ between neighborhoods, but so does the incidence of people looking for wildlife.
Diego Ellis Soto, a Ph.D. student at Yale, found that across the country, historically redlined neighborhoods were the least studied areas for bird diversity.
Mr. Ellis Soto, who is from Uruguay, said he was shocked when he arrived in New Haven and saw how segregated the city was.
“How can we protect what we don’t have information for?” Mr. Ellis Soto said.
