Outdoor seating in urban areas, such as park benches and café tables, may seem harmless, but it significantly alters the microhabitats of reptiles like lizards and snakes. These structures create shade and heat retention zones, modifying temperature gradients crucial for reptile thermoregulation. Some species adapt by using benches as basking spots, while others avoid areas with high human traffic. Additionally, seating materials (wood, metal, or concrete) influence moisture levels and shelter availability. Fragmentation of green spaces due to seating arrangements can isolate populations, reducing genetic diversity. Understanding these impacts helps urban planners design wildlife-friendly seating solutions that balance human comfort and ecological health.
