Description
Héctor Gago and co-authors track where hedgehogs nest in Spanish cities in this 2023 study. Quiet, undisturbed patches serve city wildlife as refuges. How city life changes nesting was largely unknown.
The team caught and tracked 30 male hedgehogs of two species, European and Algerian, around Valencia. They sorted the land into six broad habitats and five finer ones. Nests clustered where people rarely go, built in hedges or under bushy growth. The two species did not split the ground in any clear way. The findings tell city planners which green corners matter most for shelter.
