Im working on a research project that involves searching a database for keywords related to liminal animals. Im using OConnors definition of liminal animals: “Those animal species that utilize the modified or constructed environment of human habitations for living space and food…The key attribute is that habitats constructed or heavily modified by people either provide the majority of living space and subsistence, or provide those resources at a critical point in the animals’ lives” (O’Connor, 2013, p. 7). I can think of several negative keywords: pest, vermin, nuisance, etc. However, Im having a harder time thinking of neutral or positive words. Im concerned that this will skew my sample. Can anyone offer any neutral or positive keywords to describe liminal animals (or more negative keywords, I suppose)? Thanks so much!
