Abstract
Compromises in biodiversity and biotic integrity from human development alter native wildlife communities. We used spatial statistics to assess the relationship of reported human-wildlife interactions along a gradient of housing densities. Low-density developments have unintended ecological consequences including an increase in reported human-wildlife interactions. Planners should consider human-wildlife interactions as a potential negative outcome of low-density development and devise development designs, such as clustering, to reduce future human-wildlife conflicts.
