Urbanization is an increasing threat to biodiversity worldwide. In California, the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and the San Francisco Bay Area exemplify this replacement of wildlife habitat with urban sprawl, displacement of native wildlife and replacement with non-native, urban-tolerant species. In this study, we placed 66 wildlife cameras in two urban industrial parks in California: Venice, Los Angeles County and Mountain View, Santa Clara County. While both sites are in urban areas in close proximity to either the Pacific Ocean or San Francisco Bay, respectively, the human population density is greater in Venice than Mountain View. Additionally, significant effort has been made to replace traditional landscaping with native vegetation at the Mountain View site, as well as maintaining existing natural areas and constructed wetlands. We found that the Venice site was dominated by invasive rodents and non-native species, while the Mountain View site had significantly greater species richness overall and of native species in particular. Of note, canids and native mesocarnivores were abundant in Mountain View and largely absent in Venice. Our results indicate that maintaining native vegetation significantly increases biodiversity, including multiple trophic levels, and that the presence of mammalian predators may significantly reduce invasive rodent populations.
