In this file photo released from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Mark Hostetler, an associate professor of wildlife ecology and conservation, poses in a suburban neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida. Hostetler recently completed a study showing that new residents of “green” developments may not have a strong commitment to environmental issues. The developments often feature homes with energy-efficient appliances and native plants.
