<p>Human-wildlife research has frequently examined attitudes toward single species, especially carnivores and mammals in rural areas. Recent research has expanded in scope to evaluate urban residents’ multifaceted attitudes toward multiple species or taxa. This paper presents a taxonomically inclusive examination of attitudes toward small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona (USA) using survey measures that inform human-wildlife coexistence, specifically: tolerance of common wildlife, appreciation of different pollinators, and stewardship of iconic species in the region. Incorporating three theoretical sets of predictors, we ask: how do cognitive, environmental, and sociodemographic factors influence attitudes toward distinct types of wildlife? Coupling geolocated environmental variables with survey data, we found that pro-wildlife worldviews dominated explanations of attitudes broadly. However, environmental experiences—approximated by residents’ proximity to and frequency of visiting desert preserves—significantly increased how comfortable people feel around wildlife (i.e., tolerance) and support for protection (i.e., stewardship), including for threatening and iconic wildlife. Meanwhile, socio-demographics most influenced tolerance and appreciation of pollinators, particularly bees and bats. Although white residents liked potentially threatening pollinators more than others, Latino residents tended to dislike bees/bats and exhibited less support for native wildlife stewardship than non-Latinos. Overall, our research advances a multi-species/taxa approach to human-wildlife coexistence by identifying distinct attitudes and underlying drivers that inform holistic management of urban landscapes for the wellbeing of diverse human and non-human biota. Understanding the perspectives of diverse residents is crucial to achieving social legitimacy in managing urban wildlife.</p>
