Summary of the three phases for respective herptile, mammalian and avian species persistence and abundance in urban areas of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (modified from Evans et al. 2010). This highlights for species that increase, that in phase 3 species can either (a) continue to increase (red dotted line), (b) plateau, or (c) decline (blue dotted line) with time. Note that black dotted line in phase 1 is typical of species that persist in suburbia albeit being in low numbers and typically are not exceptional urban exploiters
