Synurbization – adaptation of animal wildlife to urban development. Term created by theriologists – ecologists. It denotes an adjustment animal populations to specific conditions of the urban environment, in the connection with regular existence there in the wild state. The term is not applied to individual animals which have come to an urban area accidentally and witch live there for limiter time. Synurbization is related to two other terms used in the field : synanthropization (refers to the adaptation of animal populations to human – created conditions in general )and urbanization (refers to changes in landscape coursed by urban development). ==The phenomenon== The phenomenon of synurbization has been described mainly for birds and mammals, but it is known also in other animal groups(e.g. amphibians). Examples of synurbization of mammal in European cities are provided by : *the squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) *the rabbit *the striped field mouse *the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) *the stone marten (Martes foina) *the badger (Meles meles) Processes of synurbization also concern wild populations of birds introduced to cities by man . The best known example is the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which has been successfully introduced, in the last two decades, to cities in North America and in Germany, as well as Prague, Warsaw and Moscow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Synurbization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
