Are rats really taking over our cities? | Jonathan Richardson | TEDxRVA Youth
We tend to see rats only as pests—but what if they’re actually telling us something vital about the cities we live in? Urban ecologist Jonathan Richardson shows how rising rat populations trace the hidden stresses in our cities, from aging buildings to climate-driven warming and widening inequality. By looking closely at where rats thrive, he tells the deeper story of how their success can point the way towards us developing healthier and more equitable cities that are more resilient to future changes.Jonathan Richardson is a biologist whose research is focused on urban ecology, mostly solving the mysteries of rats these days. He uses tools from ecology, genetics, and epidemiology to (1) identify the urban environmental factors that support rats, (2) estimate how fast rat numbers are increasing in cities around the world, (3) measure rates of zoonotic disease infection in rats and risk to people, and (4) understand how rats are impacted by lethal control efforts. Jonathan works in and with cities around the world, including New York, Helsinki, Tokyo, Chicago, New Orleans, and Richmond.
